I want to carve into myself to see what it looks like but if I do I'll be back in the hospital. Stupid Dr's not understanding. I don't get my shot for another 8 days and only have kolodipin to level me out but that only puts me to sleep! Maybe my husband is right and miguel should stay with his family. He said it so we could be " together" all day. I stayed out of the hospital for a year and don't have any plans to go back so I won't do anything stupid.

Have you tried listening to music? Something calming, maybe. Or get really angry at the world or anyone/anything and express that. Go outside where there are no people, just walking, maybe running.

Be safe! You can be. There are substitutes for self-harm. Or do it long but very, very mildly. Depending on your impulse control this can work.

Imagining is not doing. Don't fight imagining or it might turn into doing. Think about how you imagine, then how you think about imagining and so forth. Observe and think about how you feel, just that. It will distract you.

What goes up... (edit: same for affective and non-affective psychosis)

Go to a museum with expensive paintings. Imagine cutting the most expensive painting to pieces. Don't actually bring a knife though.

Worked for me.

I went back to bed. The urgency is gone but the thoughts are still there. I'll try listening to music. I can't get the images out of my head. I can't go anywhere because my husband is not suitable for public right now. Plus I think he's smoking right now.
