âYou skin is not paper, donât cut it. Your body is not a book, donât judge it. Your face isnât meant for masks, donât cover it. (But pls wear your mask because of Covid-19) Your life is not a movie, donât end it.â

Alternatives to self-harm:
Put elastic bands on wrists, arms or legs and flick them instead of cutting or hitting
Rub ice across your skin where you might usually cut, or hold an ice-cube in the crook of your arm or leg
Use a red felt tip pen to mark where you might usually cut
Have a cold bath or shower

Ways to distract yourself when thinking of self-harm (from the website):
1. Write all your negative feelings on a piece of paper, then rip it all up
2. Pop some bubble wrap!Â
3. Listen to music. Play your favorite songs, or listen to relaxing music to calm your nerves.
4. Play some video games!! Build a new base in Minecraft, try to get a victory royale in Fortnite, play GTA, anything!
5. Create some stuff! Draw, paint, sketch, or even crochet. If you want, show your amazing creations to friends and family.
6. Write a book, some poems, or write in your diary.
7. Eat some treats like chocolates or any of your favorite candy! (but be careful of the dip in your mood when you get a sugar rush)
8. Hit pillows or cushions, or have a good scream into a pillow or cushion to vent anger and frustration
9. Bake or cook something yummy!
11. Do some yoga, meditation, and some deep breathing. This will help you relax and control your urges.
