I've not done anything since finding PC, so hope it works for you too. My favourite distraction used to be trying to draw a picture using both my right hand and left hand at the same time. I'd start with a simple outline and draw both sides simultaneously, I'm right handed so I'd have to slow my right hand down and concentrating on that stopped my left hand wobbling. It was just about the most frustrating and pointless thing I've ever done, but that was kind of the point. Do you have any distractions?

For me it's not much different than the reason you'd want to hurt anyone--to punish them. Vengeance. Just like lightning is a burst of energy balancing out the negative and positive charges. When I hurt myself, I feel I deserve it. It helps to think of me doing it to someone else: would that teach them? Help them? Motivate or encourage them? If no, then why should it make me feel better? Don't know if I'm making sense.

My distractions are doing something to benefit another person, and exercise/tasks.

I'm better now that my ativan kicked in a few hours ago. But extremely disappointed right now. I called my T because she always tries to squeeze me in for emergencies but she wasn't at the office yet
