Welcome! I am not sure as to the answer to your question. I also think it sounds like an anxiety related issue and maybe a mild forum of self injury? I am not a professional though. I hope you're feeling better than when you posted this. Feel free to share more if it might help.

The Self-Injury forum, here on PC, is a forum you may also find to be of interest. Here's a link:

And then here's a link to an article, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of anxiety disorders:

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
