   The Self Taught Man Black Hole
   Have you looked into basic meditation? I'm not familiar with all the terminology but the kind of meditation I'm talking about is the kind where you visualize nothing but a blank "screen" and focus on it while trying to think about absolutely nothing, and then gently clearing your mind of everything as it comes on the screen/in your mind. I used to do this and it used to help me relax a lot, but I've had constant closed-eye hallucinations for the last few years so it doesn't work as well
   
   Also, lucid dreaming could help you do things you can't do IRL. In theory it could also make the urges worse if you're one of those "it has to be the real deal, it can't be simulated" type people

   I've tried to do meditation, but it seems impossible to turn my brain off. I'm definitely going to start giving it more of a try though. I have the same deal as you with the closed-eye hallucinations.
