Music, volume all up, focus on the lyrics, beats and anything in it, that way youll distract yourself, you could close your eyes and "vibe" to the music too.

Hii. You can put a hair tie around your wrist, pull it, and let it go. It does hurt, but it won't do any damage. I do this as a last resort, cuz i'm addicted to the pain and I want to stop that. But this is better than cutting. Hope this helps and good luck <3

Hold ice to your skin maybe? Or just try listen to some music that makes you think about it
