Call me the Rubber Band Man
Upon a great suggestion, I now have to keep rubber bands around my house. Why? Well if I feel like cutting myself, it’s a good way to stop. Snap a rubber band, help keep the pain at bay. It’s not really often, but it is helping when those times do arise.

I’m a recovering cutter myself. I never tried the rubber band thing. What I do is if I feel like cutting, I forcefully pluck a hair from a sensitive part of my body (usually my stomach or toes). It sounds kind of stupid, but it works for me. It gives a sharp sudden pain and then snaps back to reality.
I used to do that as my self mutilation phases growing up. I think the rubber band is a step between that and cutting for me.
