I pick until I bleed. It hurts, and I hate it. Help?  I do too and it is called "dermatellomania".......something like that. I pick on my right hand until the fingers have no skin left between them and it hurts like hell. I don't know why I do it. Maybe it's another form of self harm or punishment. Sometimes I can't even open my right hand because the skin is peeled off and is trying to heal and it gets tight. I know your pain...  Sorry I missed this. Have you tried any forms of treatment? I'd suppose medication or some form of CBT would be more helpful than talk therapy. |

I tried replying a few days ago to your e-mail but it wouldn't let me. :/ Maybe I need to try my non-related Gmail address. Thanks for reminding me... |

Thank you to you all. It's such a rough road for so many of you that for you to speak up and express what you're feeling when you might not feel... |

I was pretty shocked when I found out what happened. You're dealing with so much right now and it's all right to grieve, especially when you're not... |

Not wanting to stop
Not wanting to stop self-injury isn't really considered pro-SI here, if that's of any help. You're not forced to want to stop. |

Gabrielle You can stop if you truly
3 years () (Permalink)You can stop if you truly want to stop or no longer need it in your life anymore. It's easier to stop with help and/or treatment. Stopping is doable. There's no recovery from some mental illnesses but there definitely can be recovery from self-injury. There's an active message board here, if you want to sign up click 'Forum'. Or there's links to other message boards under the 'Links' section if you prefer someplace else.
If you want to stop and your home life will allow for it (meaning no abusive family/significant others) I'd say seeking help from family/friends is worth a shot. Yes, there very well may be repercussions but without outside help stopping is very difficult if you feel you need self-injury.

If your parents do not know and you do not wish to tell them or if they're being squabbly about the divorce instead of paying attention to how it is affecting you then it might do some good to have a supportive circle of friends or trusted adults who you can turn to when you feel like self-injuring.
For the short term there are always lists of distractions ( http://self-injury.net/information-recovery/recovery/distractions ) though how well they hold up under pressure is entirely up to you and your commitment (or lack of) to not self-injuring.

cutting/masochism
3 years () (Permalink)I'm curious about what you said in one of your posts about people just thinking you're masochistic. because i think i'm fairly masochistic and definitely submissive sexually, but my cutting definitely doesn't give me any sexual pleasure--it's totally different. but it worries me that maybe there is a connection. i'm not comfortable with either one. And there's this movie, the secretary, where the girl cuts herself and then she gets in a s&m relationship and stops. i don't know.

3 years () (Permalink)I don't recall when I said that but I think that a number of people feel there is a connection between the two (especially after Secretary) when in reality self-injury can't define what turns one on. I've personally never felt sexual pleasure from self-injury and have heard many others say the same thing, even if they are into things that appear superficially similar like bloodplay, etc.
