One thing that I have done that helps me to not cut, is something I wish was more popular, to take a red pen or marker and make red marks up and down everywhere you cut. For me its my arms, so I would make red marks up and down each side of each arm. By the time I was done, i had the visual stimulation i wanted, and also i had no room to cut! it was all filled up by ink marks. and i didnt want ink to get into my body. so there ya go, it worked for me. hope ive helped
