Red Opium.

This is a small thing, but I've noticed that I'm doing it... and probably shouldn't be. I've been biting my knee (when my legs are drawn up on a chair) or my hand when I'm upset and trying to not show that I'm upset or stop crying or somehow regain control over how I outwardly express my emotions. It's gotten so that my boyfriend brings my hand down when we're arguing or just says "stop biting" when we're talking on the phone and I'm real emotional and then go silent. It's nice having a buddy that can help me notice when I'm doing it... but I feel so childish. Like I'm the toddler who's being told not to suck his thumb, but that's what's comforting her.
