First I would ask if you're on any medications for your depression? Evening out your mood might be a good first step to getting injury free. As for fighting the urge....Sometimes it helps me to call someone. Talk about the feelings you're having a process them with someone you trust. I'm mostly a grin-and-bare-it kind of person. I just wait it out and eventually the desire goes away. Also remember that self-injury is a choice and it's up to you to make that choice. Being injury-free is hard. But you can do it. Find what works for you because what works for others might not do any good for you at all...Just some thoughts...
