Third and lastly. Taking a red magic marker and drawing "Cuts" on my arms in my normal cutting spots.
Good luck

I haven't had energy drinks before but that does sound interesting and I can imagine it's helpful sometimes. It's definitely better than alcohol, which I used to have a bit of a problem with but I'm doing a little better with it now.
I do notice that I tend to chew sugarfree gum a lot when I'm stressed but I read that it can give you stomach issues in high quantities, which sadly I have experienced.
I have thought about the red marker technique but haven't tried it. I think that could be a little more effective than grasping ice cubes because I'm kind of addicted to scars or longer lasting marks since they "document" my pain on the outside, and obviously an ice cube won't do that.
Thanks
