I use to cut. And stopped.
Now I just started scratching. Not like, "I have an itch" type of scratch. It's more of a scratch that covers all of both legs. But I still don't feel better. No endorphins Being released I guess... |

Well, technically you are injuring yourself. Of course, some scratches are worse than others. It certainly isn't a healthy thing to do to yourself.
Are you in therapy for this issue or for something like borderline personality disorder, if it's related to a more comprehensive diagnosis? I definitely think you are prone to trying to injure yourself, whether it's helping or not. And you need to seek help, so you can be nicer to yourself. ![]() |

Anything that injures you is SI.

I have a therapist. But i Wally don't like her. She makes things worse. No diagnosis. Nobody believe what I tell them. They don't think I'm suffering. |

Asking if it is SI, means that (at least to me) you may already be concidering it as SI. If you have to ask, then it most likely is.
I had to ask, and in my mind I already considered it to be SI. But that's my experience. My pdoc doesn't consider it SI, but to me and my T it is. It's how you look at it. Then its time to find some one that does. |

I know the answer to my question. I was just hoping it wasn't SI. But I guess you're right :/ |

Have you tried the squeezing ice cubes, in a clenched tight fist trick, as an alternative release ? No injury, with this and apparently it works.
