you know, my body wants to be moving around a lot but my mind can't

re-organize or cleaning your room is the best way to cope, even your mind is loud keep moving your body and the voices will stop trust me

I personally love using hair ties. Place it on your wrist and ping yourself, it still hurts but will not give you any serious effects and is a much easier way to slowly reduce you to get clean. 🫶🏻🩷

The Psych Sketchbook :

These alternatives aren't meant to "replace" self-harm for everyone. they're meant to help create a pause between the urge and the action. What works depends on why the urge is there in the first place. For some people, grounding (holding ice, focusing on the senses) helps. For others, intense exercise, journaling, talking to someone they trust. If the urges are frequent or feel impossible to manage alone, it's important to seek support from a mental health professional. There's no one-size-fits-all solution, and that's okay. 🫶🤍
