Yes, let’s not physically hurt yourself. Whenever I feel like that I reach out to people I can talk to on the phone. I’ll call my Mom or my friend. Just listening to them talk distracts me. I also started coloring. I started a diamond art project. A brain dump journaling exercise where you set a timer for two minutes and write out your current thoughts. I have also on occasion wrote out stuff that I needed to stop ruminating on and then went outside and burned the paper. Walking, even in circles in my house. Telling myself I love myself any chance I get, I actually believe myself when I say that now, btw. Working on projects around the house. Those are just some of the things I do.

You might try writing out and venting your feelings on paper, just let them flow and release them and don't worry about what it looks like, spelling or grammar but just write and vent. Keep it or throw it away after you are done.

Another idea is to just beat the crap out of some pillows, get in touch with the emotions and pound away and vent. I also do this with a plastic baseball bat or go outside and beat the crap out of rocks with a sledge hammer and vent, it sure feels great afterward.
