i think there's something wrong with me

[bluecow]

when i'm stressed out, piercing my ears relaxes me... i just shoved an earring through my cartellige, it's all purple-red now... this is weird isn't it? but is it unhealthy/ harmful in any way? it's not a common thing, i haven't done it for awhile before today... do i need psychiatric help?

well sweetie.... it may not be a very healthy thing... infection wise to begin with... but if causing yourself pain relaxes you.... that might be something to be more concerned about... how often have you done this.. and when did you start doing it...and is it only piercing your ears?

believe me i know alllll about mental disorders /images/wink.gif

well, the infection thing hasn't really been a problem cuz i've been pretty careful about that... i have a lot of piercings as it is... well, in the past month i've done it more than usual, but before that it's been like a year since the last time... probably about 10 times total ever. and it is usually just piercing my ears, though i pierced my bellybutton almost 3 years ago just cuz i wanted to get that pierced and i wasn't old enough yet. i'm not terribly concerned about this cuz it hasn't affected me in any negative way, but i'm just wondering.

if you're just bored maybe you can find a less painful ....um...hobby...
I don't know how harmful it is...you don't cut yourself do you?....
please be careful...
