I randomly picked 77 and it said to play an instrument, which is funny, because playing my trumpet or french horn is the one and only play I can go to get my mind off things.
Hi Everyone, I'm the original *Hidden*!! A trip down memory lane led me here today, remembering all the hardship and the pain i went through, remembering how much this site helped me recover....
To come back and see my ORIGINAL post STILL a sticky bought me to tears, I can't believe a part of me is still around...Aimee in Wonderland you are a legend for maintaining this page.
I re-registered to post this reply just to say Thank You. Thank you to every member and every friend i had the pleasure of knowing in this extremely special environment; this safe haven for those that are scared to be alone.
I'm a fully recovered Self Harmer, thanks to the support from this site I can honestly say 6 years down the line I am the Happiest and Proudest person i could ever be...
Apply moisturiser/body butter/body cream
Apply fake tan
I find them both very methodical and therefore soothing :) And applying fake tan means you've got to concentrate on making sure it doesn't go all terrible and streaky xD
Scrapbook!
Cut things out and stick them on a page and make it look all pretty ^_^
Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.
Filing nails, especially if they're long. Then painting them. Maybe make a pretty design :)
Can take a while and depending on how clumsy you are (in my case, very!) then it can mean you have to concentrate :P

I've found a really good one, (for me at least).
(Probably best for folk who don't burn btw).
Make jelly. :)
I like this one because all you need is a packet of jelly and water.
Just boil some water, (hence the mention about burning), add it to the jelly cubes to dissolve them, add more water and then put in the fridge to set. (Instructions are on the packet).
I like this simplicity of making it plus it doesn't feel like a big job since it's only a 3 or 4 minute job and sometimes all you need is that 3 or 4 minutes to relax a little.
Now I've been picking up a few packets of jelly when I'm out just to make as a distraction.
Plus you get the benefit of eating it about 6 hours after.
You can always mess around with it like adding fruit, (maybe already small things like blueberries since I imagine using a knife whilst trying to distract yourself isn't a great idea). Can also try mixing flavours or making towers and stuff like that.
Stuff like that will add a little time to it and you can experiment which is always a good thing.
"Tutto è bello..." - "Everything is beautiful..."
Nicola to Matteo, La meglio gioventù
They make you wanna self destruct
and become someone else
And when it feels like it's too much
Baby don’t hurt yourself
Beautiful scars don’t last forever
Come on, let me kiss it better
The pain won’t last forever
Come on, let me kiss it better
Your perfect the way you are
I wanna hold your suffering in my arms
