Firstly, it might be a good idea to develop coping mechanisms so that you can obtain relief. I used mindfulness techniques at the beginning which my psych taught me. The key is developing alternative methods for seeking relief. Whatever these methods can be. They dont deny your feelings but teach you how to manage them.
Then, maybe its worthwhile to take a step back and understand what you are seeking relief from ? Is it realistic ?
