((((((dalescooter))))))))) there are *many* ways to self-injure. Any action that causes yourself harm that is intentional and meant to cause harm equals self-injury.

As for your question... it depends on the motivation. It could be anxiety ... or it could be self-injury. Really depends on motivations and feelings behind doing the action. Just my opinion mind you.
