Re: Is this self-harm? -

I'm not sure how to classify this to be honest. I think it can be viewed as a form of self harm but it's more inadvertent.
I have a habit of picking skin. I do it to the point that I bleed and 8 do it when I'm stressed or anxious. I don't do it deliberately. I don't intend to make myself bleed but I do and it can be seen as self harm. I feel like there is probably a better term for inadvertent self harm but I've only recently realized I have this habit so I haven't been able to ask my therapists about it.
I'm glad you no longer do this and I apologize that I don't have a more concrete answer.
