Serious Does anyone here SIB (Self injury behavior)

[BummerDrummerOG]

If you don't know what SIB (Self injury behavior) I think it's a common thing in people with autism and shit. It's where you hit yourself (Self injure yourself) for no reason, although sometimes it can be because you don't know how to express emotion. Point is, whenever I'm alone I sib alot and I'm just now realizing it. I'll clench up my jaw/teeth and just start hitting myself either open palm or closed fist while screeching (Not too loud, just loud enough) until I just stop, and I think it's genuinely giving me brain damage because I don't stop for a while, idk. I want to stop it though.

Do any of you retardcels SIB? If you do, how do you stop it from really hurting (I know some people bite their hands and skin and so they get gloves and cushion to bite into) and if you've stopped, how did you stop? It's kind of important for me. Please.

>Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) are intense urges like biting, picking, and pulling that can cause damage.

I know I have this ^ and sometimes I do hit my head against the wall but that is out of frustration.

I think they have medication to help with that.

Nope, sounds awful though.

I self harm through self destruction, diet, lifestyle, etc.

Yeah, I punch myself a lot. It only happens when I feel angry and helpless, I hate myself too much.

Nah man, hope you'll look into some meds though
