Weird/Unhinged Advice to deal with HS

hey, there! So I have been dealing with HS as long as I can remember. Recently, I rlly scared myself by (almost) engaging in risky behavior with men I did not know and without any safety measures. Anyways, this is the closest I’ve gone to actual self-harm. However, I am scared that I will be tempted again especially at night when I am pretty much just alone with my thoughts. I am doing therapy but I working through other stuff. i do want to know any uncommon or weird coping mechanisms you have especially at NIGHT to deal with HS. I just personally do not want to ever engage in risky behavior. So do you have any rituals or habits that help you cope with HS at night?

EDIT: ideally, the habit or ritual would require me to NOT engage in sexual behavior. So no masturbating or sexting
