Q: Scratching and hair pulling
asked by: pine90apple on April 29th, 2009

I scratch with pins, needles, scissors, knives. Anything sharp and pointy enough to make me bleed. I do cut sometimes but I prefere to scratch, more control. and less blood. and more pain.
I think, ever since I tried quitting, Ive been just pulling out strands of my hair, just one at a time. not much thought is put into it, its like I decide that I dont like that particular strand of hair and so I pull it out. its dumb. Ive also been hitting myself, like punching myself in the legs and stomach (my flab). I did that b4 I started scratching. I dont feel like im stopping. just changing what I do. I want to stop. completely stop. how do I do this? Does anyone else do anything similar to what I do?

Scratching
I do the same, usually with safety pins. I nearly always have one on me. I can't seem to stop. My boyfriend told me he'd leave me again if he did (him leaving the first time set me off), so I have to do it in places he's less likely to notice, like ankles. I've tried to stop but nothing worse! I don't do the hair pulling, but if you find a way to stop scratchin, let me know!
