bite my arm.I've done it since I was seven.No,I can't stop.Its at a level of addiction.I do whenever Im stressed,upset,angry,or frustrated.I feel the urge.I also feel the relief after it.I can't stop it when I do.Its like Im fighting a monster so much stronger than me.Why should I fight it? I can't beat it.So I've surrendered to the addiction of biting it.
There is a mark on my arm,its right below the wrist.The skin is dry and feels thicker.When I use my hand and my wrist and fingers,occasionally I can feel the nerve moving underneath it,the blood vessel moving and the muscle moving my hand and fingers.
Why should I fight it? it's not like I can beat it.If I do I get beat up and I end up breaking or hurting something else.Why should I fight it when I can't beat it,why not just surrender?.
I've surrendered to the addiction.But it doesn't stop the sadness,it doesn't stop my distress at it.It doesn't stop me crying myself to sleep some nights wishing I could stop.My addiction is my shackle keeping me from moving.

I knew someone addicted to biting themselves. Of course it is always a good idea to see a professional about any addiction, but you can get over it. It might take time or a strong method, but you can get there. I would say the best thing is to replace the habit with another healthier habit.
ReplyI have trichotillomania, basically I pull out my eyelashes. I understand the surrender. Every night when I pull I know I should fight it. I could beat it. But at the same time, I can't beat it. So I surrender to my addiction of pulling out my eyelashes. I understand.
