» striving2 - harmful behaviors
I found this article interesting. As a child I had symptoms of OCD which were self-treated and resolved. I'm under alot of stress right now and find myself tensing my right arm so frequently it feels like its going to fall off. It sounds ridiculous I know. I am just wondering...does this seem like a self-harm behavior or just a nervous tic? I've tried talking about the problem to a counselor, and I am certain she feels it is not the problem, but rather a symptom of a problem. (coping). Still, I am wondering if this is a form of self-harm.-- posted by striving2
