Hey I actually know the answer.....Yes the hitting of yourself would be classified as self injury. However, the thoughts of stabbing yourself are not but a form of OCD kicked out by extream stress. I was actually refused by a psychward for this reason. I kept thinking I would stab myself in the eye. The pdoc on call refused me said it was ruminating. Years have passed and I am fine. I do not however have a DX of OCD but have obsessive tendencies that can be triggered by stress..this rejection you feel triggered you

HUGS call your T and relax but please no more self harm
