~eleanor~ Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 this may trigger someone because it talks about picking skin with objects it is all i do. i have a pin and dig things out of me that my partner says arent really there. i am thinking about using other things like razors but so far i havent. it isnt to hurt myself. its to get rid of the dirt out of me. i picks my nails til they bleed. i put this in OCD because it is a complusion anyone else the same and/or have any tips? in how to manage this better, not tips on how to do more damage... !

Christine001 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I pick my toes until they bleed sometimes, has been better recently but not sure why, probably a combination of anti-dep and therapy. but still pick but only bleed a little. I have never got an infection but could have so take care with that hun. I am not sure where you can get help on this so not much help sorry. hope other people have some ideas for you xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piuma Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I would say get rid of your pins, and paint ur nails, I pick my scalp and pull me lashes and sometimes it feels gd an I do it repetitivly an sometimes I not aware. Do u wanna stop it? I don't mind doin mine I spose picking may leave more damage ? Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~eleanor~ Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I do want to stop because it is like a compulsion. But I am recognising other things I do which I may talk to my social worker and/or pdoc about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
