When you feel like doing it again, breath slowly, close your eyes and count to ten. Don't let your bad mind take over you, always stay calm and think about what you were about to do and see how pointless it is.

Also, do what relaxes you such as listening to music or reading.

Was there a particular reason that you self-harmed? Don't just address the self-harm itself because then you will end up even worse... believe me, I know. Self-harm is not good, it really isn't. It can ruin your life...

You could try writing things down in a story or a journal or listening/making music, running and all sorts of different things. The breathing techniques also for short-term relief. But if you are thinking about it, and I can tell that you are, get some help before you ever do it again. Don't get caught up in the vicious cycle of self-harm because you will never get out.

Is there anyone you can talk to?
