TW!: I hurt myself to cope with social anxiety.
Every time I get uncomfortable or start having anxiety when talking to people, whether it be positive or negative, once I get away, I find myself peeling my skin off, hitting myself with blunt objects, ect.
I know it's a bad thing to do, but I can't stop. It relieves me of breath and the strangling feeling in my stomach.
Is there anything else I could do instead of hurting myself to cope with social anxiety? Please let me know.
