You actually write a lot of stuff that makes a lot of sense to me, and probably others here too.
Offering distraction as a method to stop may sound silly and like it won't ever work but it can. Not always, no one's saying it's a quick fix, but I can tell you there have been times when I've been sat there all ready to go, holding a tool in my hand, and I have waited and waited and eventually put it away without doing anything. And I can also say that I have not liked those moments because I have wanted the thing I set out to do so badly but it did pass.
By the way, you are human - you feel, you hurt, you think deeply, you are human.
