I asked my Tdoc about this. I used to SI when I was in my early 20's, I am now 50. Basically just scratching with a pin or nails on my arm. But it is still self injury even if you are not cutting. From there I went into punching myself and causing bruises.

I have started getting some old urges to SI, I haven't had to deal with this stuff for a long time.

Hope u can get the proper treatment.
