Try to redirect. maybe turn it into a mouth stim like trilling or popping your mouth?

I used to scratch and had to change it to little slaps on my arms instead to keep me from hurting but still satisfying the urge

i used to bite the skin off my hands i kinda eased into just ripping at my sleves w my teeth so maybe do something along those lines

Tw unintentional self harm

the only thing I can think of is to find another stim that works just as well and always opt to that. I have a stim where I hit the bottom part of my hands and wrist together, I’ve got bruises from it before so I’ve tried one where it’s more like clapping instead. Works well as long as I’m allowed to make noise at the time
