Q: injure myself frequently
asked by: 2esta on July 14th, 2008

I'm a 16 year old girl and I've been through a lot on an emotional basis like sexual abuse, family tragedies and a bad home situation. I know I'm not completely stable but I am really aware of myself.

Ever since I was 10 years-old I pick at spots on my face like small pimples and such. I manage to draw blood and i rip the skin off. It's mostly a subconscious tic which I don't do on purpose. It just happens. The urge comes up when I'm stressed and it leaves me with scars.

The people around me complain about it and tell me to stop but I just can't find a way. I always seem to be under some kind of stress and it just keeps getting worse...

I really don't know what it is and I just like it to stop but I've tried way more than a dozen times and it won't stop.

Does anybody know what could be causing this and what I could do to make it less or stop it. I have had enough therapy but not about this issue...
