For example, multiple times per day I pace, pick/scratch my skin and bit my cheeks and lips and often make myself bleed. I frequently will snap my fingers, clap, pat/tap surfaces, click pens, click my tongue etc. and when under extreme stress I pull out my eyebrows or my hair, hit myself HARD in the head repeatedly, and burn myself. I feel like all of these things are to ground me when my emotions or my surroundings are too overwhelming. It gives me something to focus on. 

I have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder but fear something more serious is going on.
