@redhead I don't really have much usefu ladvice rn, so I am just going to say that like you, unless I act on an urge it won't go away and I often don't feel like people understand that, so I am here if you wanna chat. I would also say that to at least get through the next little while try and do something you don't have to think about and sort of go in to "brain numbing" mode. 🙂

@Nat8 that's such a lovely supportive message for @redhead

@redhead A walk is a pretty awesome start, do you have any other alternatives to SH? I don't know if you saw the chat I was having with another member about stretching as a form of "safe" SH as weird as it sounds. Anything that works for you that's sorta similar?

@Bree-ROit's only really the truth. I usually find it easier to at least know that someone understands

@Ben-RO I'm stressed with uni and life in general.
I don't know where the urges are coming from. I feel like I just have to do it.

Uni sure can be pretty stressful, as can life! Can we all talk through how to manage that distress? Or right now do you need to do things while you wait for the urge to pass?

Hey @redhead i thought i'd make a thread for you so we can all talk a bit more 🙂

 

I know self-harm urges are a pretty big challenge for you, so lets see if we can help you through this:)

 

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed?

 

Or are the urges coming from somewhere else?
