I pull at my eyebrow hairs to the point I dont have any eyebrows left. When I do yank out the hairs I do it without knowing Im doing it and have the tendency to bite at the roots.

I also chew at my tounge like it was a piece of bubblegum. I usually do it when Im sitting on the computer doing something that takes my attention or playing videogames.

Not the same but involves "chewing"

My tick is fresh bread+depression, started as a toddler and has followed me since then. When I would fuss and cry Mom would give me a slice of bread to pacify me, here I am 45yrs later still pacifying myself when I down. My wife doesn't seem to understand this and constantly buys bread because she knows it makes me happy even though my weight is a constant struggle, keeping it in check is a constant battle and now I have diabetes to boot
I was on 200mg of Zoloft now I'm on Paxil and mood stabilizer and they do nothing for the bread cravings despite me mentally feeling a bit better.

Do you do this to toenails as well ?

I pick scabs(especially on my scalp), and wind up with sores that last weeks. It is part of my anxiety issues.

I've been pulling, picking and biting my skin on my fingers since I was about 3 years old. I've been on anti depressants for the picking and OCD issues almost as long. I used to pick and bite at my feet too, I know WAY gross. I haven't completely stopped but I seldom pick anymore. My fingers have healed over with scar tissue in the past 3 years and I can safely say I have found other ways to relieve my frustration. Writing in a journal, no matter how trivial it sounds, has helped encourage me to put my thoughts down on paper rather than keep them in and bite my fingers. I also feel like I deserve pain which explains why I have stretched ears and piercings. I hope you find a safe way to deal with these compulsions. =)

You guys are mental.

Oh my gosh, I'm currently sitting here with a hydrocolloid bandaid wrapped around my go-to thumb. I was one day away from getting acrylic nails put on because I could feel that urge to pick getting stronger, and that's the only way (like Matti) that I can avoid it. It's like a cast for my nails. But, I waited to long and went for the cuticle and lunula (I hope I spelled that right), and even though it hurt, it also gives me this surge of relief when I do it.

Messed up, I know. However, I am very grateful that I'm not alone with this!

I don't do it as an obsession though, I often times am reluctant to do it.

I used to do this, and the best way i got rid of it was moisturizing the shit out of my arms, they wont form if you do that. then nothing to pick.
