Hey, Right now, I'm dealing with recovery from self-injury. One thing that really helps me is listening to music. Anyone have a song that really helps you deal with urges? Songs like "unwell" by matchbox 20 are good. "Fix you" by coldplay.
I have a weird taste in music but songs like these get me pumped up when I am going through recovery periods. Hope these help. Skillet "The last night" Skillet- The Last Night-Lyrics - YouTube Skillet "Hero" Skillet- Hero (lyrics) - YouTube 3 days grace "Time of dying" Three Days Grace - Time of Dying (lyrics) - YouTube Skillet "Never Surrender" Skillet - " Never Surrender" Lyrics - YouTube
From what I've heard, this song is about resisting the urge to cut. Otep - Perfectly Flawed - with lyrics - YouTube And while this one might not specifically be about cutting, or even recovery, I like it because the message is that your past mistakes do not make you any less of a person. Pink fucking perfect - YouTube
Maybe it's just me but when I was recovering from being suicidal I listened to a lot of Nirvana music. I know that maybe ironic to some people since Kurt Cobain died in such an arguably infamous way. Yet his music was so raw and no one really connects to the soul like Cobain did.
Broken-hearted girl by Beyonce Bring Me To Life by Evanescence Glad You Came by The Wanted My Immortal by Evanescence Jet Lag by Simple Plan No Air by Jordan Sparks ft. Chris Brown River Flows in You by Yiruma (this one is piano instrumental) That's my favourite song, I always listen to it, sorry if you don't really like it :$

Trust me this is all you need! Tom Waits-Come On Up To The House Well the moon is broken And the sky is cracked Come on up to the house The only things that you can see Is all that you lack Come on up to the house All your cryin don't do no good Come on up to the house Come down off the cross We can use the wood Come on up to the house
