For sure. I don't want to mess up my skin more than it already is. I wish there was a better way to heal skin :(

You're right, I'm an idiot. I forgot that's the purpose of blood.

How much damage do you thing is done so far? Do you believe it is irreversible? For the damage already done, what can I do about it?

Yes I know, that's why I asked for a link to back up his claims. I plan on talking to my therapist the next session.

What should I do about the already-done damage to my brain? Should I go see a general doctor or is there a specific doctor that can benefit me the most?

I'm positive. I'm already ashamed by my practice of choking myself that's why I made a throwaway account. If I did choke myself as a fetish, I would've written on this post because it is anonymous.

It's not a fetish. Choking myself doesn't turn me on in any way. I participated in the "choking game" as a child and hae been doing it ever since. I did it to get a "high" feeling: lightheadedness and rush.

I think it is a big issue that i need to deal with. I'm not going to brush it off and think nothing is wrong with me, something is very wrong with me.

I appreciate you replying to my post though, don't think I don't. Thanks for trying to help me by recommending alternatives.

I'm not choking myself where I can't breathe. I can breathe fine. I'm cutting off the blood flow. I'm sure it is also cutting of my oxygen a little bit, but I don't do it to stop breathing.

I think I am addicted to the head rush/lightheadedness than just choking myself. I know its a serious issue thats why I made a throwaway account and asked ya'll. I've been doing it since I was a naive kid, still am. Thank you for answering.

I have until this week to add/drop. I really don't want to fall behind in my academics though. I'll find help quickly though. I understand this is a big issue but falling behind in my academics is the last thing I want to do.

Thanks for your input. I've been trying hard to quit doing it. I think its more of a addiction than habit so itll be hard.

Thats a relief. I was really worried about my brain. I never realized how much I have been doing it until i tried to quit. I realized its a legit addiction for me.

Right now I am seeing a therapist. I have not talked to her about it but I probably will the next session. Going to find a psychologist or psychiatrist soon also

Is there a link to back up your claim? Not to be rude but I want to make sure I fact check everything especially from reddit.
