I met my care coordinator today, she's really lovely!
I've noticed though that when talking about things in my childhood or difficult things I dig my nails into under my thumb nails.and make myself bleed, I know I have always done this but for some reason it only just dawned on me today in my appointment when talking about childhood. I don't class this as self harm but it is something I feel I should stop doing as making my thumbs and fingers bleed is quite annoying in the long run. I just can't control it at the time though, I just do it without realising and then realise after. It is only in appointments when talking about difficult things that I do it though. I just wondered whether anyone has any advice on this?
Also, my care coordinator mentioned the echo group which I think is just a local group where I live, but it's basically a self harm support group and as this forum is helpful for me I wonder whether this group will be. Does anyone have any experience of self harm support groups or the echo group?
Thanks for reading! x
