Self Harm Coping Apps:

Calm Harm:

The app Calm Harm helps prevent self harm by providing distractions. It’ll count down from 15 minutes for you and if the urge to self harm is still there you can choose another activity/distraction. It even categorizes your mood to help you choose a distraction. Sometimes even just delaying self harm for 15 minutes can help lesson the urge or make the desire fade.

I drank the sea water:

 

I drank the sea water is an app created by Idranktheseawater, a mental health activist on Youtube. The app offers a “Distractions” section with a list of suggested distractions and a place for you to write your own distractions (which can be helpful because sometimes when you’re in the moment you can forget your own coping skills/distractions).

 

It also has a “Questions” page with questions like “what benefits are there from not self harming?”, “will anything really be made better if I self harm?”, and “what are my {good} qualities? List them” and you can type in your answers. The app also features a video made by Idranktheseawater.
