I have Dermatillomania which is a skin picking disorder. It has fucked with my mental health. Im so embarrassed of my skin. I can go months without picking but then I get triggered (other mental health reasons) and I start doing it again. It is an addiction. I have a big painful wound on my scalp because I keep picking at a pimple that had been there. I have scars on my face because of it and Ive had such bad swelling that people thought I was getting abused.
When Im under stimulated it gets worse and because I don't have many friends to hangout with now that its summer break, its gotten worse.
I try not to be ashamed, but when people point it out its almost embarrassing to tell them that I do this to myself.
I even do it unconsciously.
Its also a self soothing thing too because I'm autistic and I have anxiety.
I haven't found a way to stop and I don't think I will.
It sucks
