Question- please help
So I don't know if this is a anxiety thing or a depression thing or something else, but I don't really know how else I can find my answer right now.
For a while now, whenever I heard/read/or even thought about someone self-harming, my wrists would tingle. It feels like energy or bits of electricity is crawling beneath my skin. I was wondering:
1. Why do my wrists tingle?
2. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
3. How do I make it stop?
The only thing that I have found so far that has even kind of worked is putting pressure on my wrists whenever they tingle, but that's not a long term solution, and it doesn't even help all the way. So, yeah. Please please please help.
Hey @NervousSystem
I'm sorry to hear that you're getting a tingling sensation in your wrists. How often do you get this symptom?
Have you tried changing the temperature of the pressure? For instance, putting a bag of frozen veg on the area that's tingly?
Please know that we're here for you during this difficult time ❤️ Stay strong.

@Jem7Cups Like I said, it happens whenever I hear/read/think about someone self-harming. I don't really know if that's any kind of consistant so... Anywho, no I have not tried to change the temperature of the pressure, but I will next time! I usually just use my own hands to put pressure on them and recently I cut some strips of cloth to wrap around them whenever it happens. Thank you for your support! <3
