Just thought I'd let you a know about this amazing book! Its called 'wreck this journal' and you can get it from amazon for about 5 pounds. Its a journal but every page gives you a different way to 'wreck' it, it has pages like 'tear this page out, put it in the wash and then stick it back in' , 'document your dinner on this page, 'fill this page with fruit stickers', draw an endless line on this page'. Its basically a creative excersize that you can do a page each day and the great thing is you don't have to be amazing at art to be able to complete it! Its a great distraction from cutting and you can get your anger out on this book!!! I'm really enjoying it andits cheap aswell and really worth it :) <3

I was honestly thinking of getting this but if I brought it my parents would wonder why -.- I have my own card now though so I might think of buying it off Amozen then.
I'm glad you found a way that works well for you, it's a great way of keeping yourself occupied as well as being able to take it everywhere and, as you say, taking your anger out.
Thought i'd an example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc1g1IydaqI&feature=related) if anyone wanted to check out what it was? (sorry for the music, just turn the sound off :P)

They came out with this book five years ago (or more). I remember going into the bookstore with a friend of mine for them to buy it as a gift for someone. It's a really neat book and something that I do believe would be a great distraction for a lot of people. When you want to cut, start a new page! So then, by the time you finish it, you can look back and see all your progress, every page representing a time you ignored the urges. :)

I have one of these! I've been using it as a distraction every so often. It's helped some. Not all the time but it's a good outlet for me. It's also just a ton of fun because I like artsy things. I'd recommend this to those who have the money. It's not terribly expensive. :)

I have this page used specifically for this purpose:
