I end up rubbing red spots into my arms, pulling strands of my hair out, and giving my hands marks because I feel so stressed that I compulsively do these things. I'm not thinking about them, but occasionally I will become aware of the fact that my arm is hurting from rubbing it, or my scalp hurts because I've pulled several strands of hair out in the same area. It's ridiculous.
