Self harm coping techniques!

Things are tricky with my thoughts on self harm but I want to make a blog about self harm techniques for anyone who might be struggling with:

Self harm techniques:

- plastic rubber band on your wrist 

- holding and squeezing ice on your palm.

- screaming into a pillow

- calling helplines

- going for a walk to clear your head

- baking something to keep your mind of things.

Exercise

Hit cushions

shout and dance

shake

tear something up into hundreds of pieces 

If youre feeling sadness or fear:

here are some distractions you could try:

- wrap a blanket around you

- spend time with an animal

- walk in nature

-let yourself cry or sleep

- listening to soothing music

- tell someone how you feel

- masses your hands

- lie in a comfortable position and breathe in,  then breathe out slowly, making your out breath longer than your in breath. Repeat until you feel more relaxed.
