Any Strategies Of Coping Other Than Hurting Yourself?

Hello, ive recently found this page, and didn't know whether to post anything or not, ive been cutting for the past 2 years now, and I was wondering if anybody knows any other ways to cope. Ive tried opening up to someone who I trust (family) and I ended up getting took to a mental hospital, and now my family cant trust me to be in my room alone, not allowed near anything sharp or tablets etc. My family think that I haven't done it since last year when I told them, but I have because I cant stop and I was wondering if anyone has got any other strategies of coping. Thank you x
