listen to music, read a book, cry, think about your favorite things to eat or do, excercise, take a walk, sleep. snapping a rubber band may also help

You can talk about it to people so they can help you not to when you'll want to relapse. You can try the butterfly project, you can draw on your skin when you want to relapse.

Try to think of alternate coping methods before hand. When you get the urge, try putting ice on your feet or slapping your wrists with a rubber band.

This is a difficult one, especially since absolutely forbidding yourself to relapse is almost a recipe for relapse. The best way to prevent relapse is to set up your life in such a way that relapse is less likely. Remove yourself from situations where you are likely to relapse. If that means losings friends and losing the popularity poll, then so be it.

Try to focus on positive aspects of your life. If you feel like you could relapse at any moment, lie on your bed and shut your eyes. Try to get rid of any tension in your muscles, and try to be as still as possible, like a statue.

Try to distract yourself. Do something engaging and fun. Go around people you like and try to do the activity with. Hope this helped ^_^

Maybe write a sentence or paragraph of how you feel when you're about to relapse. It will take time to write and you might lose the will to do so. Really think about what you want to write and just stay strong because you can do it
