TW: Mentions of dermatillomania/skin picking disorders

so, when I get upset or overwhelmed I have the intense urge to scratch my skin or pick at my skin and I just sit there for a long time picking myself. does anyone else do this? are there ways I can help it because It’s really annoying sometimes and I just want to be able to control myself

i do this too! i pick a lot, and idk if it actually helps but try covering the skin you pick at the most, bc in my mind the less you look at it the less likely you will start picking again. by covering i mean like, long sleeves or bangs,, i used to pick at my forehead loads but now i have bangs and i do it a bit less. idk tho!!
