I carved names and patterns in my arms a few times in my early twenties. Are the scars visible on your forearms Phillipa? If anyone else has this, how do you deal with the stigma, questions etc? The pdoc says I have many borderline traits, but that they don't suffer from social anxiety (?) so that isn't my problem.
I remember going through a phase of head banging and hair pulling when I was a kid. I think it was a way of dealing with frustration and distracting myself whenever my mother was sick and had to go into hospital.
