Sometimes we have to hurt ourselves, eg a diabetic injecting insulin, someone pulling out a splinter, leg waxing etc. but these things are done for a different purpose, and the pain and harm is a (usually unwanted) side effect.
So, if you're doing something and the reason is to feel pain, that's different.
Can you get some help with this? Maybe call a helpline or talk to someone you trust?

Thanks,
it actually is discusting
i have mentioned it to my psychologist but he hasn't said to much just asked me about it, so I'm not too sure what he's thinking or if he's waiting for me to bring it up, im really not sure, maybe when i get the courage I will again, it's just so vile to do it but Im not really looking for pain, its the feeling of what i do i'ts almost like a warm blanket is been put over my shoulders. it sounds weird i know but im not looking for the pain that is just the afterproduct. I notice i do it anytime, i try not do it in front of people, but i definitely do it more when I'm stressed. I hate been so odd!! Thanks for your reply, its nice to be able to voice it out. Thanks i will have to bring it up again.
