I've been having these feelings since yesterday. I think my depression is acting up but IDK. I just saw the Pdoc last week. Sigh. HUGS Kit

I understand how bad it can be I used to draw on myself with red felt tip pens. I've read about paint too but not tried it.
Maybe you could write out everything on a paper and rip that up.
Or walk to the bathroom and put cold water on your skin. This might be a bit much, but I would google bad self harm scars and some of the images would scare me. It's so easy to really hurt yourself.
What really helped me was actually chucking everything I used out. The nearest store is a good 15 mins away. So I'd have to go out of my way to get X.
