Some suggestions in this situation are:

Take a hot shower and use a good exfoliating body wash and a sponge or glove and scrub!
Chewing leather
Grounding exercises
Dancing
Singing
Anything that involves repetitive action – colouring, stroking a pet, tapping your fingers on a table

Casual Sex As Self Harm

For months I would go to the areas of town where lone women were told not to go. I would purposely go to the places and do the things that I knew were putting me at risk. I fooled myself into thinking I was in control, that it was a calculated risk. I wasn't finding people on a dating app, I wasn't going on blind dates or finding people through mutual friends. I was going to the bars that people would advise me to avoid and actively looking for a one night stand.
