10 Things to help stop cutting

Distract yourself

One of the ways I use the most to stop is too distract myself. By that I mean you can draw, read a book, listen to music, whatever can calm you down, just don't look in a mirror and don't go in a bathroom.

For example, the butterfly method:

You draw a butterfly on the part of your body where you want to cut and name it after a loved one or someone that wants you to get better. If you cut, the butterfly dies. If it washes or wears off, you've set it into the wild so it can be free.

The pen method:

Get a red pen and draw lines, squiggles and peace sings all over where you want to cut. When you're done, count the lines. That's how many scars you won't have.
