In the past, I've drawn on my arms with red pen, and then 'dressed' it, as I would if I had cut. It makes it seem like the ritual hasn't been broken, but I also know that I haven't physically hurt myself, but seeing the bandages and everything helps alot.
I also write 'thank you' lists. I'll write the name of someone who I love, and then write a reason to thank them, and a really good or happy memory that we've shared together, and carry on until I can read it back and laugh and smile.
I email too. ^_^
