Just wondering, I have been diagnosed BPD a year ago, I am older, in my 40's and I have never heard of BPD or cutting until last year when I read about it. I have never cut, but have always punched walls or sometimes punched myself to try and get rid of the emotional pain I feel. I'm just wondering if what I'm doing is considered self injury? I have been getting tattoo's also to deal with some other issues the hurt me inside. ...i thought things were suppose to get better with age...
