Question about self harm

Oct 17, 2019 by adeleadele
Is it considered self harming if you like to pick your skin? Like i pick at my skin on my hand a lot and it bleeds often, but i do it whenever, but moreso when im anxious. Like i am kinda harming myself cuz it bleeds and it could get infected, but idk.

no adele because u didn't mean to do it.

most people pick their skin and sometimes take it too far.

If it isn't intentional self-harm it may not fall under that category, but moreso something you do more subconsciously (like TTM, which I recently blogged about since I struggle with TTM).

I used to violently scratch my hand (not for self harm) for the pleasure of it because it felt good, but the downside to that is my hand cracked up during the winter and it was painful af then. Since, I’ve stopped scratching the back of my hand.

no it is just a nervous reaction! U should prob try being more aware of when u do it though and try to stop cause it is still very bad for you :S
