Fighting the urges. *might trigger*
 
I had an urge this morning, but instead grabbed a brown eyeliner pencil that I don't use, and made marks on my arm. Then took a shower to wash it off because I had planned on doing that.

It really helped me.


What things do you do to fight the urges?

Normally to fight the urge, I keep myself busy, do distractions, sometimes go for a walk even clean the house. Well done you for trying to fight the urge.

Take care

Thanks Louise. I find walking helps me when I'm stressed because I can just get away from everything.

I always try and do things that make me happy. For example, I am a ballet dancer so I will practice my dances everytime i get urges and to keep my mind distracted I practice over and over again until im tired and then i fall asleep and wake up in a much better mood.
Well done for distracting yourself and fighting your urges, it's very brave :)
Stay safe.
