What could be the diagnosis for triggering self injuring behaviour?
human
I am self injuring about every day. I read into self injurious behavior, and I realize that it is something that I have been doing since I was about 5 years old. I notice certain things trigger the behavior, and other times I cannot figure out what triggered the behavior. Upon reading into the behavior, I realize that I have always done so. The manner in which I self injure has changed over the years, but I can not seem to stop. One theory I have as to why I self injure is power. My power has been taken from me, and I can not seem to get it back. I constantly relive the abuse in my thoughts and own actions. I think because I have self injured since I was so young it could be something else as well. I do not know what is wrong with me, but I need to find out so I can be treated. What possible things could be wrong with me to trigger such behavior? I know that with me being an adult a diagnosis could be difficult because of environmental and/or socialization throughout my life, but something I learned is that people behave in the manner in which they do for a reason, even if they do not know why they do it; there is always a reason. I am curious to know why I do it.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicI think, you should consult a psychiatrist to rule out impulse control disorder in you. May be due to underline impulsive thoughts to do all such self injurious act and take your life in danger. In that case, there are certain, medication that would help you to control that impulsive nature and behavior.Thanks
