*tries to fix the format* <nowiki> *gives up* <nowiki> *sighs* Sorry. AgAiN.
I took a unit test for my summer school today and got 18/20, or a 90%, I had actually studied a lot(a rare thing for me) I am really dissapointed in myself. I feel like a failure. Nobody puts these expactations on me but me, my parents keep saying how that's a good score, and I would say it was an okish score, except I studied. A lot. I put so much effort into it, only to get bad results.

And I pick at my lips, they're chapped a lot, and I'll chew off the flakes or pick at them. And then the new skin gets dry and Ill pick at it, and the cycle continues. Sometime's it'll really hurt, and will start bleeding, especially that part in the middle, it bleeds a lot, but I can't stop picking at it. When that happens, it sometimes hurts to eat or trink, last week, it was SUPER painful to drink lemonade. I use chapstick constantly, but I think I pick at my lips before it can help, and take off all the chapstick with my dead skin(and not so dead skin). It does help a bit though, I think, but I'm not sure...
Do you think it counts as self harm? It's mostly habit, but I can't stop doing it no matter how much it hurts.
[TRIGGER WARNING]When I'm really anxious or mad, I'll try to dig my fingernails into my palms or legs, it hardly seems to hurt though, and I always wish it hurt more, because it's mostly only pulling at the skin.
I'm not sure why I'm saying any of this...

Child I get you.
Chewing on your hair is really normal, but maybe try doing something else?
Like, maybe try drumming your fingers on a piece of furniture or wearing a necklace or ring and flick the metal or something?
I totally understand the studying thing. I try to just shake it off and just push through. Idk.
For the chewing/picking on the skin on your lips, maybe try just pursing your lips why constantly wearing chapstick. I used to have that problem, too, actually, but I kinda just stopped chewing my lips and moistureisidized constantly, I guess.
I also get the digging your nails and stuff.
Kinda like you wanna claw omething apart but can move and just kinda need to put this physical pressure on yourself?
Maybe try wrapping your arms around yourself tightly?
I hope that helps!

Can someone please make the next thread of this and post it here? We've almost broken this thread and idrk how to make a new one...
also, turtle, i'm not remotely educated on any of these things, but it does sort of sound similar to what i've heard about dermatillomania? (but I know NOTHING about this stuff so do not take my word for any of this.... and sorry if that's somehow offensive.) and if it's intentional, it would qualify as self harm, i think... but i don't know half as much about any of this as i'd like to, so please take all of this with a grain of salt... or several. :)
They're taking a break...
I looked at their contribs and it says they're blocked so idk...
Should I make a new thread?
Yeah, Emmy said they were leaving the wiki and someone else would have to make a new thread, if memory serves, so if you could that'd be great. :)
also, i think we have like 3 comments left, just fyi...
lol
should i try to make a new one
Yeah. We probably shouldn't post here until there's a new thread. If we run out of posts, you can just go back and edit your last comment with the link to the next thread, if you want.
ok sure
and hopefully we dont run out
ok i just made a new one
