I keep a book too and I love it. It's like a recovery book with a whole variety of things in there.
I do DBT so I have a folder as well full of helpful things and have to keep a diary of self harm in that.
Tis great

Hiya people, I hope the challenge is going well for everyone Make sure you keep each other updated!
I got a simple distraction that I wanna share -

The following content has been hidden - Reason : It might trigger SH, please be careful :)

I pull my hair out which is something I wanna add to the Christmas challenge

I posted a thread about it a while back & someone suggested a way to distract yourself is to rip up peices of paper.
Today I really wanted to do it in class (which I especially hate doing as Im scared someone will notice Im doing it) and I remembered the ripping paper up thing which I hadn't tried before and it really distracted me.
Okay so it did kind of distract me from what I was meant to be learning but I think if I wasn't ripping up the paper I probably would have done it.
So yea thats another distraction
I was tearing up the paper into the smallest possible bits, it was great, although I wouldn't reccommend doing it at school, I don't want your grades going down

keep strong guys, much love Sophie x

Ohh i might try that!

Soemthing thats helped me is breaking pencils in 2..but be careful!!

I'm going to buy stickers today and make a calender!!

Yay :D
also helps to treat yourself!
i bought myself some boots at the weeekend:P

[daisy*]

I just bought myself an iPod touch so I only have like 7 dollars!!haha
Just enough for stickers! :)

I still havent made a book yet but I might start off with making a calender, I think it's such a great idea

I had my arms out today for the first time in abosolutly agesss, I do have scars but I didn't really care today. I only had them out for about 20 mins/half an hour and was kind of hiding them but I feel that was a big step! I definatly wouldn't have got them out if I wasn't doing this challenge cause I think I would have probably cut by now.

How was everyone elses day & how are you all doing with the challenge?

Much love, Sophie x x x

I printed off a calender today. and marked off important dates (Christmas, last day of school..ect.) and i put one big sticker on the bottom to make it colorfull and one for yesterday and today. I'm excited to fill it up. When i get to 6 months, (saturday) i'm gunna fill up the whole box with stickers. :)
i'm so glad were all doing this together
