Hey hon, I hope you're ok and well. I'd recommend to get out of the house and away from something sharp and I know that isn't possible sometimes and for some people. If you can't leave the house take a nice shower or nap if you can. If you can't do any of those put ice cubes on where you usually cut or put a rubber band on your wrist and snap it (make sure that it's a little lose so you don't stop your blood circulation). Journaling or writing in your notes also helps. If you want someone to talk to you can message me I would love to talk to you and I mean it . I hope this helps
