As the title says, I am a scratcher and a "snapper" (at least that's what I call it - don't know the real term for it.)
I wear and snap rubber/elastic bands on my wrists... I am not a cutter.

I rationalize it by telling myself, "well it's not as bad as cutting. It's not as dangerous since I don't have to
worry about bleeding out or whatnot." And the vast majority of the time, I don't think I need or deserve support.

The rational part of me knows self injury is self injury, but I think another reason I sometimes think scratching and snapping
is not actually self harm is because in the past I heard (or read somewhere... I don't remember) that both can actually be
an alternative for some people - like a way to ween themselves off the addiction of self injury.

That's another reason I think I don't deserve support, because I was an idiot and turned semi-healthy ways of getting
away from self injury into full blown self injury.

Does anyone else do this... or am just a freak???
