Ok.. so completing thoughts would be a good idea...
What I also wanted to say was that the feeling of wanting to self-harm hasn't miraculously gone away, the habit of that being the first reaction to how I deal with stressors is slowly changing. When I want to cut, I go and count the marbles, I line them up, I divide them into groups, I try to stack them up into pyramids.. and doing those things helps me to wind down the anxiety levels (as well as a whole host of other tricks and things I try to step back from an acute anxiety attack).
But, it's like kicking any addiction. Work out why you do it - what are the things that it give you? Then work out how you can get those things in a different way.
