How To Cure Drug Addiction And Border Line Personality Disorder?

OK this is really pathetic but I have drug addiction issues and border line personality disorder and a light case of self harm as in the sense of sometimes I get so stressed out and angry that I will hit my head and sometimes will cut my arm, not every enough to truly hurt myseld , that's not my intent just enough to release my anger. Well a little over three weeks ago I hit my right temple and a few days later I Have a knot in the vein that runs through the temple area. The bruising has gone away and it doesn't must but the knot is there. Will this go away or have I just done some damage to the vein that I'll have to live with

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The pain is gone away and this suggests that the inflammation after the trauma has gone down. Probably there is a thrombosed vein present which is felt like a knob. This will re-canalize with time and it wont be permanent. Most probably nothing needs to be done and the knob will disappear with time. Some suggest application of a cream called thrombophobe but mostly it will not be required.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
