I don't know if I would feel comfortable talking to a counsellor though (I have a lot of anxiety about talking to new people), and when I've been before I tend to lie to them/ divert the conversation, because I really find it difficult to express what I'm feeling. I only decided to stop scratching recently, as I had my hair cut short, and realised that the scratches on my face would no longer be hidden. However, like I mentioned before, I often do it when I'm not focusing or am half-asleep, and I don't know how I can stop hurting myself if I hurt myself when I can't remember not to?
