Biting something like ginger, lemon or an onion can give you a really intense feeling. If you’re feeling numb or disconnected, and you’re using self-harm to try and ‘wake up’ or give you some sort of feeling, this is one to try!
You could also try something spicy, like hot sauce!

I like to bite a chilli – not a crazy hot one and not too often. Its even better when someone from work (someone I wouldn’t feel able to talk to) asks me what I’m up to and then the challenging begins! It has never fixed how I feel, but for a brief moment I am thinking about how hot the chilli is and not everything else.
