what "ways" are you looking for? are you looking for alternatives? for tips on helping you stop? for distractions or ways to deal with urges? i'd like to help, but i guess i don't really know what you're looking for here. feel free to pm me if you want to chat. :)

Honestly, the best method I have found is somesort of distraction...I know it doesn't help much but i'm trying...Try for example
A walk
A drive
Draw
Something along those lines

I think you've taken the first step by talking to someone. Even if it's just a stranger on the internet, it helps so much just to know that you're not alone. When I feel like cutting, sometimes it's in addition to the cutting, I write a letter to someone who's making me upset or angry and I just get all of the emotions out there. I'll write shit I would never ever say to their face, but it gets all my thoughts on paper and I usually feel a whole lot better.
