Well done on not self harming for a long time. Give yourself credit for that. Unfortunately feeling triggered is something we all have to face, so perhaps you can come up with a plan of action for when you get these thoughts. What helps? Write a distraction list, be around people etc.
Are there any feelings that have led to these urges that you would benefit from talking about? Is there anything we can do to help you? If it's a case of being distracted then why not join us on the distraction thread in general chat. There are often people chatting there.

Jill, you can call me Lorraine.
I'm so sorry about your sister. Grief is awful and isn't the same for everyone, so don't worry about how you should be feeling. And don't feel you have to be ok. You don't have to act fine. Do you have someone to support you through this? Other family members?
I wish I knew how best to help, but just now it's so early and the mix of emotions must be difficult. It takes time. I lost my mum two years ago, but I'm still grieving, although with the help of family and friends I'm managing. You can get through this too. Just allow yourself to go at your own pace. If you are not ok, then that is fine. Keep talking about how you feel. I remember I often wanted to scream and let the world know how unfair it was and how I was hurting. Let it out here. We are here to listen.

Don't put yourself under pressure. If you need to cry then let it out. It's good you have family and friends. It's too easy to isolate yourself at a time like this, although sometimes some alone time is needed too.
Take care.
