please don't do sh. if you can't stop yourself what i do is hide anything you can hurt yourself with, or ask someone to. you can vent to others instead. trust me, it doesn't change anything and you'll feel worse in the long run

Doing other tactile things can sometimes help. Holding an ice cube, drawing on yourself with a pen, or playing with a stim toy can help. These activities can activate the parts of your brain that need a boost so you can feel better. Try to imagine that instead of wanting to hurt yourself, you actually NEED something. What is it? Maybe food or water, or rest, or company. Or just physical sensations. Wishing you the best.
