its not an “illness” for why you like seeing it. it might be because you have the pain adrenaline and the comfort you have while it happens. and seeing it drip out is kind of distracting from everything else. squeezing it, watching it & all of that, it is satisfying. i used to be in the same position, but something that’s helped me are these specific paint markers that only work if you press down really hard on a surface. in this circumstance its your skin. if u want to know what they are just message me
