I've been an on and off self harmer, but I can say I haven't harmed myself in 6 monthes. What especially makes me proud of this? I went through my lowest moments in the last 4 months, and I was able to resist even at such a drastically terrible time in my life. How? Once I get the urge, wherever I may be, I leaned down and prayed my heart and soul out to the Lord. I prayed and cried until I felt cleansed and refreshed and the urge left me. At times, these prayers would last up to 2-3 hours until I felt it subside and the Lord filled me with hope.

There are many practical ways in stopping, such as the "rubber band" method where you wear a rubber band around your wrist and pluck it when you get the urge. That personally does not work for me. Also, there's the taking anger out method where you punch something continuously like a pillow. None of these worked, only God's healing powers was able to stop me.

I really hope you all find a great connection with God in these moments of despair, and remember, if you ever want to speak of this subject in private or want to discuss it further, please do PM me. Hope I was atleast a little bit of help. I'll be praying for your strenght and will-power!
