dear whomever reads this,

tips with self harm;

1. use a pen or marker to draw on yourself rather than a razor.

2. ring up a friend to distract your mind from the sad thoughts.

3. go for a run.

4. Talk to someone you trust about it. trust me I know it’s hard and scary, but releasing your thoughts does help more than you know.

5. Listen to music to entertain your mind.

6. The butterfly project. draw a butterfly upon your wrist and name it after a loved one (favorite celebrity, family member, friend, lover, ect) and think of it as a reminder that they’re always by your side no matter what. and if you ever do have the feeling of harming your beautiful self, then think of it as killing the butterfly and taking its life away.

7. please please remember that relapsing is a part of recovery and it’s okay. it does NOT mean you’re weak, actually it proves how strong you are enough to put effort in getting better. a smoker, or a drug user doesn’t get better over night, do they? no they don’t. it takes time, and that’s okay. As long as you get back on the wagon, you’re okay.

much love. x

sincerely, a friend.
