Try to identify the triggers that make you want to self-harm, such as stress, anxiety, or intense emotions. Once you know what triggers your self-harming behaviour, you can take steps to avoid or cope with those triggers.

Instead of self-harming, try to find alternative coping strategies that can help you manage your emotions. This could include activities like exercise, deep breathing, journaling, or talking to a trusted friend or family member.

A mental health professional can provide you with the tools and support you need to overcome self-harming behaviour. They can help you identify the root causes of your behaviour and develop a treatment plan to help you manage your emotions in a healthier way.

If you're at risk of harming yourself, it's important to have a safety plan in place. This might include having a list of emergency contacts, avoiding situations that trigger your self-harming behaviour, and finding ways to distract yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed.

Remember that recovery from self-harming behaviour is a process, and it's important to be kind to yourself along the way. Don't beat yourself up if you slip up, and celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem.
