Drawing on yourself with sharpies or a pens can be a good alternative. I also journal and make marks on paper or something that can take it. Tearing up something that is disposable or that has a satisfying texture can work too. I used to have a glasses case made of this rubbery plastic that I could carve into.

Blasting music tends to help me, or just distracting myself (by texting/calling friends, playing games, drawing) usually helps. I hope this helps a bit 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Pressing an ice cube against your skin or snapping a rubber band against your arm are ways to get an intense physical sensation without actually self-harming. I personally prefer the ice cube.

flare up please respond
Hey guys, I am having the worst HARM OCD episode I have had in a while. I am having disgusting, awful intrusive thoughts about harming others. It feels so real. It feels as if I am about to get up and just do it. The worst bit about it all Is I know I feel distressed and panicked. But where the thoughts are actually happening ( in my head) doesnt feel this feeling. This is making it feel worse as it really does feel like Im just going to do it. I am crying my eyes out because I know im petrified and dont want to hurt anyone im so scared. I have this terrible intrusive feeling in my that feels like its justifying the thoughts. Please can someone talk as I am scared Im crying I dont want know what to do I want this feeling gone I am so scared. I tell myself Id kill myself before hurting anyone else, but would i ? What if I actually do want to kill Please respond Im so scared

What's wrong with me?
I've found myself writhing on the ground from intrusive thoughts of my past. I have bruises all over from me hitting myself. Every waking moment is a nightmare, I can't do anything. Can't let people be mean. But standing up for myself turns into cruelty. Cruelty turns into a loathing, and then I fear that everyone hates me. I wish I could die, and live again. I don't want to lose my life, but I can't live like this.

Cutting and self harm
Does anybody else get the indescribable urge to cut yourself, you don’t want to but you feel like you have too.
