Re: My Addiction to Cutting My Nails - Post Your Ticks
I pick at my skin , namely on my face..tweezers.. if there is dry or flaky skin, or I scratch my self and have a scab, or I get a zit...tweezers, nail clippers, I have one of those zit popper wands like the doc on here has to pop zits and other nastiness.. Litterally have picked my face apart/open all over to the point I was ashamed to go outside, yet wanted to continue "debriding" all of my scabs and wounds. I've calmed down on this recently..but I can stand at the mirror for hours with a bottle of 95% isopropyl alcohol, and tools.. I actually have memorable scars , on my nose and cheeks.. ever since I was a kid and started breaking out/acne... pick pick pick pick pick My acne never toned down with age and I have pretty oily skin on my face/head.. Have to wash my face at least twice daily less if you touch my face it feels like I poured oil on it.. (Not just a little oil..but it is easily apparent on paper towel/toilet paper etc.) Yeah I know..pretty gross huh? but the picking is the bad part.. |

Re: My Addiction to Cutting My Nails - Post Your Ticks
I wear my hair tied back all the time, and I can't stop pulling my hair out of the tie. Doesn't sound too bad but it's bloody painful and I've lost a lot of hair around my hairline because of it. I also find it hard not to pick the dry skin on my husbands back. If I start I'll pick it till it bleeds.

Re: My Addiction to Cutting My Nails - Post Your Ticks
I have trichotillomania. Started pulling my hair out when the white hair (no, not just grey, PURE SNOW WHITE) started getting worse and worse in 2008. Now in 2014 I have very little control and meds don't help. Have to wear a synthetic $670 wig everywhere I go. Punk hair dye helps cover the white a little. (My brown hair will take purple dye to look deep purple while the white looks pale lavender). I doubt if I'll completely recover. Fuck me. Everyone tells me to simply stop, as I have nice thick hair. |

Re: My Addiction to Cutting My Nails - Post Your Ticks
I also pick at my skin, not just on my face but everywhere, If I feel the slightest bump I will pick at it until it bleeds, and then I will pick the scab. I don't give it time to heal. My arms and chest are covered in scars and my face is a mess. I think it started as a child when I would pick fleas off of my cats. Even now I still pick at my cats skin even though these ones don't have fleas!
