I know exactly what you are going through. I do those same things and more. A question if you don't mind, You don't have to answer, When you SI, what do you feel?
For me, there are 3 different phases:
skin-picking-it gets started and I get obsessive and can't stop.
cutting- the scary one for me. When I do it, I just feel numb. Like filing papers or something. I look at the injury and just don't feel anything about it one way or the other.
knuckle bashing- this one comes only out of rage or extreme anxiety.I would still contend that there is a genetic predisposition to this. It would be nice to have a med that works for it someday..
I wish you the best-
