"have done similiar things like clipping my cuticles until they bleed, and I think that's where I go the idea. I also have a problem with picking at any inperfection until it bleeds. Its like I can't stop until I draw blood. It almost feels like I'm punishing myself, like I deserve the pain and the scar left from it. And afterwards I feel relieved, like I've paid a penence."
I just started this past year (I am 24) It just happened by accident and unfortuantely I got hooked. I am trying really hard to stop but I definetly know that although it relieves the pain at the moment in the long run it has caused me much more anxiety than any relief that I would have gotten from it at one time. Please take care of yourself, and let me know if I can be of any assistance.
