In college I would occasionally self harm when I was mad at myself/felt guilty about something. I don't think I have done it in about 17 years (I'm 38). Recently I cheated on my husband and felt the need to punish myself, so I did. And again a week ago I was having a severe break down moment and did it again.

I have also been purging again (another thing I haven't done since college). I feel so stupid reverting back to childhood coping mechanisms.

I showed my husband the marks to prove to him that I am NOT ok. He told me I am too old to be doing that cutting ****. I am too old for this. Ugh.

Any other people here have old habits that pop up much later in life?
