I used to self-injure, and quit several years ago when I was alarmed at accidentally going too far. What helped (and still helps) me is noticing when I'm getting too upset and emotional, and removing myself early enough before the urge to hurt myself.
Have you ever heard of HALT? It stands for "Don't let yourself get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired". All of those can bring you down and make you vulnerable to making poor choices.
