What are some intense alternatives to cutting? I have a friend who is trying to quit & she needs something intense.
Things that work for her include weighted blankets, riding her bike really fast, & strong hugs from a couple of people. She's recently been having epileptic seizures, so the bike riding is out for now 'til the seizures are under control.
She's tried some other things, but few things give her the same intensity as cutting.

She sounds like she's overstimulated. The things you say work for her work for my autistic daughter. Pressure is good. Deep massage, back scratching, squeezing the palms of her hands with your finger and thumb.

Yes, she's probably on the spectrum. But she's not a child & pinching isn't enough. Maybe you'll find some ideas here, too, for when your daughter gets older? I'm also on the spectrum. I hope you enjoy your daughter. :^)

One of the things my friend tells me that works for her son whose also a cutter, is wear a few rubber bands on their wrist and snap them when they get the urge to cut.....
Apparently the pain emulates the same as cutting or near that....
I don't know but she says it helps him....
Good luck!Like (1)

It's just a way for them to get attention, it's just like a little kid that throws themselfs down on the floor, as an adult it comes from being gready needy and self absorbed.
