I need to communicate that I am not OK – to myself and/or others

Some ideas people have suggested to us are:

• Draw yourself or around your arm on a piece of paper, draw the harm you are imagining then destroy the picture
• Take a photo of yourself when you are feeling upset, write all over it how you are feeling then destroy the picture.
• Writing poetry, journals, letters, stories
• Doodling or scribbling on paper
• Drawing or painting
