I totally think you need to tell your therapist or pdoc because it can be worked out. The question is it a compulsion? If not then its SIing because you like to see yourself bleed, with some cutters they will cut because they like seeing there blood because it shows them that they are still alive. Of course not all cutters cut for that reason. If you think its a problem you forsure need to tell your pdoc or T. God bless!
I had never heard of Dermatillomania, so I looked it up on wikipedia and that appears to be more what I have from teh description I read. Thanks for mentioning it. Guess I need to ask my pdoc about it on Monday.
Thanks for this!
