So how about trying 1 easy exercise, throw out all of your razors and blades. It helps when you don't have the preferred tools you use to self harm with. Especially at your age when you can't just run out and buy more.

I know this feeling well. I used to be a cutter years ago. You are doing great in just recognizing the urge and attempting to distract yourself with the computer. Now, here is something that I used to do sometimes when the urges were so bad that I could actually feel the need pulling tight across my chest when I inhaled every breath.

close your eyes and pick the person you love or like or admire most. Now this person is the cutter, they want to self harm. You know that sometimes people lose control of self harm and they can do more damage in the heat of the moment than they had wanted to do, or that they needed to do.

imagine what you have to say or do to help this person you love, like, admire.

and do it, say it to them, say it out loud to them, imagine how they would respond and what you would say to that response.

most importantly , listen to this conversation closely. recognize your empathy, and compassion for that person.

now recognize that that person is you~

anyway, it sometimes worked for me when nothing else would. and it takes a while, sometimes just using up that much time is enough for the urge to subside.

be kind to your self~ triple hugs of support~
