Is it normal to want to make yourself bleed?
I have this impulse to bite and scratch at my wrists. What I really want is to make them bleed, but I try to hold myself back from that; but I WILL scratch and bite at them, in privacy, until they're all red and sore. And when I'm really stressed about something I'll scratch at my wrists, even in public, but I try really hard to make it subtle. It's not that I want to feel the pain or anything like that, I just want them to bleed, I guess. And when I get these urges I never want to use a razor or something sharp- just my very short, bitten down nails or my teeth. I don't know why I want to do this, it's just this really wierd drive to do it. So is it normal?
