We are sorry to hear that your niece is having these issues. I am sure our users will have some helpful advice. In the meantime you may like to look our webpages on self harm and self injurious behaviour:
Many years ago after accidently burning myself I did burn I think to experience something physical to put against something emotional,- make it something tangible. This was years before any diagnosis or anything, and something i guess I put down to adolecense.
It would be great if someone that shes close to could find out her thoughts and feelings which may help then address it.
Thank you for your thoughts - unfortunately my niece is low-functioning and pretty non-verbal, so it is hard to get an understanding from her as to whether she is going through something particular
