hi, you would maybe get more replies in one of the support forums, where you could go into more detail as to what is making you feel so down.
*hugs* 2 and a half months is fabulous, but if you do SH, remember it is just a slip-up, it doesn't spoil your record, it's just your mind's way of testing new coping strategies, they're still developing to don't work 100% of the time just yet. But it will get better.
I'm completley recovered now, I found writing poetry helpful. also, as a distraction, I wrote down as many words and feelings that i felt relevant at the time, onto a piece of paper. Then i made word games out of them. Matching up opposites, matching up rhyming words. Making stories or poems out of the words, or simply just scribbling over them in black marker before ripping the page to shreds and flushing down the loo.
hope you feel better soon, mand x

I hope you are feeling a little better now. Well done on going the last two and a half months without cutting, that is great. Like Mandi said though, if you did self harm you still did amazingly well and we all have slip ups in recovery. Self harm is a very difficult thing to overcome.
I can't really add much more to what Mandi said, the only thing you can do sometimes is just distract yourself, whichever way works for you. If it's triggered by something, talk to somebody about it, find a solution to the problem rather than self harm.
Hey hun.
Two and a half months is ace you can beat this urge.
What did you do last time you wanted to SI?
Do you know whats triggering you?
To distract yourself you could listen to music, watch the telly, go for a run, draw a picture, cuddle a teddy, write down whats making you feel this way, anything.
You can get through this.
Take care.
