I scratch and pinch. I did not realize it was SI until my therapist pointed it out. Figuring out why I do it has been a very big deal.
I am working on loving my body, exploring the feelings I have been afraid to deal with, and replacing the actions with other things so I stop hurting myself. It may not be as damaging as other forms of SI, but I do not want to do it anymore.
I am glad that someone brought this up. I felt very alone, too. Thanks!!
