I'm not sure of the self-harm aspect of two things that I do:
When I'm asleep or curled up in bed, I actually grab onto the top of my arms to 'hold' myself. But when I wake up the next day, I normally have small dark bruises from it.
Also, I used to have untreated allergies when I was a kid and I remember my skin itching so badly, I would actually take opened scissors to the part that would have the intense itching. Now that doesn't happen to that extreme, but, if, say, my foot itches quite a bit, it doesn't enter my head to get something to put on it to stop the itching. I seem to be focussing on something else, like TV and will scratch my skin open and raw! Not good when it's the feet and I'm diabetic.
But I don't know how to make myself aware of these two things? Self harm - maybe, but not intentional.
Anyone else do this?
