here where I live there is no such thing as dissociative self harm. heres why... self injury here where I am is treated like an addiction. it causes the same brain chemicals to be released as someone who has a gambling or sex or smoking or drugs addiction... theres a medical term for it called euphoria.

example when someone start craving their addiction (drugs, alcohol, sex, self injury) their brain starts producing and releasing endorphin's this chemical production and release causes a person to feel light headed and dissociative like symptoms. in other words where I am this (euphoria) is a medical issue not a mental issue.

just a heads up bipolar medications can also cause this to happen, suggestion contact your treatment provider. (especially since none of your past posts state you have a history of this kind of self injury makes me think its a medical side effect of your new treatments or recent detox and inpatient treatment plans. that may need to be assessed by your treatment providers)
