Scratching myself until i bleed
Ever since sixth or fifth grade I've been scratching myself. I don't usually notice it until my whole hand is bloody and some one freaks out at school. I never really thought about because i thought it was normal, but now that i'm starting to think about more i'm starting too feel stupid. At first i thought it was stress related, but most people chew their pencil or something like that. I've always scratched my hands and fingers, but now when i'm in the shower or getting dressed, i'm starting to scratch my arms, shoulders, back, neck, and legs, and not being able to stop, like I have to or something. I feel like i'm losing control when I start scratching. I'm now in eighth grade and going into high school next year, my parents have no clue that this is even happening, i usually blame my scabs on my hands on my crappy locker or 'something happened in FAC's' (cooking class). I don't want to tell my parents and cause unneeded drama unless I really need too, I don't like bothering them much. So, is this a normal habit..?
