I can understand that. It can be really difficult to motivate ourselves to do anything if we're feeling upset. Have you had a chance to look at the guide? It's got lots of ideas, which can be a bit overwhelming. I'm wondering if you could start off by looking at the first 10 ideas and see if there is anything you want to try. Do you think that might work?

thanks - tho sometimes i literally feel like i hv no motivation to do absolutely anything but i'll give it a try

Hey there, So we actually have loads of support guides to help people figure out different ways to relax and stay calm. I’m thinking that you might want to have a read of our support guide here which has loads of ideas to try: https://www.ditchthelabel.org/101-ultimate-ways-chill-reduce-stress/ Once you’ve done that, you could then maybe pick out a few and let us know which ones you might try? No pressure though! It’s just really good to try out loads of different techniques because different things work for different people :)

Sure lemme know how it goes and ofc

oh cool, will watch it. Thanks

sure

Hey there, Yeah, I remember you mentioning the headphones which is a shame. I'm wondering, would you like us to suggest some things you can try?

Haha, watch the trailer first to see if you like it, but I also like the movie The Other Kids, really honest and true to life. Sometimes it’s hard to find movies, but when you get your headphones back you can also listen to the songs.. idk but yeah u deserve the luv and support

Alright, I know this sounds weird cuz I have such a lack of information, BUT, I went to the music store the other day, cuz I love music (listening to it to) and they had drums, but like, the conga type, and oh my they did some good (?) stuff to my soul, so it sounds rlly funny but I figured I would suggest it if it would help to go musically bang on some things ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

thanks :)

previously, I've tried music but my headphones hv been confiscated so i'm not entirely sure what to do now.

thats rlly sweet and yk what? I'll try n see that movie

I shall second the idea of trying to feel better, as in feel good, cuz you deserve to feel good ‘:)

Hey Rain, I'm glad you're safe. Instead of trying to think of how you stopped, I'm wondering, can you think about what helps you to feel calm? When you're relaxed, what have you typically done that has helped you to feel good?

Sigh, yeah I think I get it. :/ have you seen Em0 the Musical? I think it’s a brilliant movie and might make you feel a bit better. I wish I could hug you rn ＼( 'ω')／

it's alr but basically i hadnt self-harmed for like 2 months and 1 week until tuesday where I slipped back into sh sadly - idk if it makes sense to u

i''m not really sure how I stopped last time and I am safe.

I can see that Monsoon has already checked in with you to see if you are feeling safe at the moment? It's Ok to say if you aren't. The more we know, the better we can support you. You are not alone with this. Please don't feel bad about self harming again. As I mentioned to you before, when we are recovering from self harm there will be ups and downs and it's really common to relapse on the way. This is all part of learning new ways on how to cope with things. What you mind find helpful right now is to remind yourself, why you stopped sh in the first place and think about how you managed to stop last time? What helped you and what are other ways on how you can let out your emotions in a safe way? Don't worry if you can't think of anything - we can think about it together if you would find that more helpful.

Hey there, Aurora will only be back tomorrow, but I just wanted to check in as I can see you mentioned self-harm. I'm wondering, are you safe at the moment? I hope you're as okay as you can be. If you aren't though, please do let us know so we can help you.

I can be impatient at times ikr, I am kinda obsessed I love so many different kinds of music That is a big oof, I am sorry. If I am honest, I don't completely understand but I also think I might where are you at now with it?

I'm not rlly sure about what happened last time but i had an argument with my mum on like tuesday and i think that triggered my self-harming again. Gosh i feel so bad.

I love BTS and kpop in general. That's good to hear. I relapsed as in i slipped back in sh.

Hi there, I noticed that you said that you relapsed yesterday. I was just wondering if you were talking about self harm? Don't feel you have to answer if you don't want to. If you prefer we can also talk about it in confidential support. I just wanted to say that there is nothing to feel bad about. When we're recovering from something there will be ups and down and relapses are really common when we are trying to make a big change. What might be helpful is to think about what helped you stop last time - maybe that will help again. What do you think? Please know that we are here for you
