oooh, interesting. This is off topic.
I use SI to mean suicidal ideation, and I realize (duh, now) that some people use it for self-injury (if I read the first post correctly).
Now, that's interesting to me because when I saw "mild SI" I thought "well, isn't all SI serious?" because I was thinking suicidal ideation.
It is so easy to miscommunicate in writing. From now on, I'll be more specific when I mean suicidal ideation, so folks don't think I mean self-injury.
BTW, the nail picking sounds like a habit, and habit's can be very strong. If you aren't bleeding, or needing medical care from it, my guess is it isn't self-injury. But I could be SO wrong about that!
