Is this a nervous habbit, anxiety or self mutilation.?
Answer:
I do think that this is a form of self mutilation, but I also think that you need to be heard by some one. You do need to find some one to listen to so that you can find out what it is that is causing you to want to hurt yourself. I used to have a similar problem when I was younger and when I found a very caring therapist who really cared and really understood why I was doing what I was doing it helped me to learn to release my feelings instead of trying to stuff them some where and to ignore them. If you do that than you end up either sick emotionally with depression or physically with things like headaches and stomach aches or what you're doing. I would let my parents know what's going on if they don't already know. You need to find someone to talk to and you need to find someone fast. I'll keep you in my thoughts.
im gonna b sick
Honey, this sounds like you are not being heard and you have something you need to communicate to any adult around you, whom will take the time to listen, your physical action of doing this to your lips, which are a part of speaking, communication and your fingers, communication tools speaks for itself, find one person in your life you can trust and communicate what it is you need to release, you dont need to be smacked you need to be heard.
you need to go see your regular doctor first and let him decide what your next step is. this is not normal. please make an appointment asap.
it may have started as a nervous habit, reflecting anxiety, but you are hurting yourself. Leaving yourself open to easy infection - and what you are doing causes you PHYSICAL PAIN.
i used to bite my fingernails so far down that i was also nibbling loose skin, and would RARELY get to what you are describing on 1 or 2 fingers - but then i would stop, till it stopped hurting.
I think this is something where you need psychological help, and please don't think i mean that as an insult.
