Dinah, I have recently started using the sensory integration strategy of brushing. I happen to be using a brush that is made for cleaning suede shoes, but they actually make sensory integration brushes that are softer than that.
I brush my skin, not hard--no damage or marks or anything--just gently. It is very stimulating and organizing and calming for me. I think it actually creates some of the same effect that cutting does but without the injury and danger.
I had posted the link once in the past, for where you can buy these brushes on line. If I can find it again, I'll repost it. You might be able to use a soft vegetable brush or something like that.
Also, permit me to remind you that you have used tight wrapping in a sheet in the past, and you said it helps when you are jumping out of your skin with agitated emotion.
