Hey there emma. ive been dealing with flashbacks of self harm as well as other things for a while now. for one thing, i want you to realize that you are absolutely not alone!
now ive found a few coping stratagies that have been helping me get through them lately. i find that for me, i drown the memories out with music. just focusing on the music can be hard at first, but soon enough it worked, and now i find it to be very helpful.
another one i find helpful is to face the issue head on. i suggest only doing this if you are in a safe place though. what i have done is ive drawn a picture or written poetry. i find that being creative really helps in times of distress
or if you dont want to face it, and just need a distraction, you could just color a random picture/draw, but focus on doing it perfectly inside the lines., anything to get your mind off of the feelings, you know?
well i have some more, but i dont want to bore you haha, but if those dont work, im always here to suggest more (:
best of luck to you darling(:
