Another newbie

Hey. Just like many of you, I'm new here. I'm here because of my tendencies to bite my own skin and purposefully become bitten my animals. This habit is not safe for my skin or my teeth. I'm trying to quit. I'm in therapy and medicated but I thought I should give this a shot too. I hope that I can be supportive :)

Welcome to DS. My problem is cutting. I don’t have emotions, so I let my stress out by cutting, but I am working with my therapist to quit. Best wishes. I hope you are able to overcome you self-harm.

I have a Therapist as well, I suggest meeting with a Psychiatrist and see if they can set you up with something that can help you medically. There are also treatment centers that may help.

I recently committed myself in one and they were able to help me. I would make sure you google around or talk to your therapist or doctor. If what you are doing isn't helping there is something else that may be wrong the Therapist isn't seeing.
