Please suggest me some good alternatives to self harm?

Question

So, my emotions get very very intense when something happens to me, whether it be someone is calling me terrible things, me and my mom get in a fight, or I'm just EXTREMELY upset or stressed out about something, it all gets really intense into this huge mental breakdown of crying for an hour or so.

When it's happening I am NOT thinking about consequences, I just desperately want to hurt myself.

I used to cut but I'm a hypochondriac and my counselor told me I could get Tetnus so I stopped out of fear. Well now I'm just hitting myself.

The other day I had a bad breakdown and I grabbed this metal dish close to me and I banged it against my leg as hard as I could a whole bunch of times. I didn't realize how hard I was doing it from all the adrenaline, but afterwards it hurt so incredibly bad, It hurt so bad to move or walk for a few days. Now I have these horrible green and purple bruises all over it. My calf is all green and purple and it's embarrassing to walk around looking like I just got beat up.

I need to stop this, but in the heat of the moment I can't rationalize, I need a really effective way to let out my emotions..

Advice and suggestions please?

Lift weights or kill yourself doing cardio. Release your stress and focus your energy doing this. Exercise is shown to be very beneficial for your brain, body and immune system. It will also get you in great shape in the process.

i have this crazy and radical idea that anti-depressants wasnt invented by will 
it was discovered becasue people testing new pills felt alot better and said that this must be produced

no tabu will ever make me forget my respect for something that took away that level of pain

so yeah therapy including certain pills you cant argue that cant be worse in any way yet itll help you with the stress, anxiety and depression

you have too much energy in yourself, go exercise when you feel bad. Like running, boxing, some cardio exercise will feel much better afterwards, and you will look better also
