Let´s share some healthy ways of dealing with those not-so-nice feelings!
A friend of mine introduced me to fire spinning a couple months ago and I recently bought my own stick. Now every time I´m having thoughts about hurting myself or I feel I´m getting really sad I put on some music and spin the stick. It´s easy, accessible and because I have to concentrate so I don´t hit or burn myself I successfully distract myself. I´m really proud of myself for finding and sticking with a healthy (and cool) way of handling these negative thoughts and I´m getting really good at it. You don´t need a proper fire spinning stick if you want to start, a broom stick will do the trick just fine. You can also make yours for less that 20 euros so no need to spend a hundred on one if you can´t/don´t want.
It took me a really long time to find something I like that helps me without boring me quickly so don´t desist; you´ll find something eventually. :]
