Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone else knows of or does stereotypical self-mutilation(head hitting, biting, etc)? I'm a little embarrassed about this, but I hit myself....I suffer with severe BDD, have major low self esteem, have OCD, PTSD, and possibly Paranoia.
I hit myself because the emotional pain is so unbearable, I want to replace it with something else. I also feel that my body is so ugly, that it deserves to be hurt .
I usually hit my head in intense periods of emotional pain/depression, or a major BDD attack. I'm afraid, and no one understands this. Even my therapist is kind of baffled and doesn't know what to say. I want it to stop.
Is there anyone else out there even remotely going through, what I'm going through? I'd like to hear someone's story, and what they do to help this.
Thank you
