Re: Digging holes into my skin!!

Do you ever do anything like this??? Lately I have been like digging holes into my skin. I'm not doing it because I want to harm or hurt myself, I just can't stop. What has started out as a minor cutor scrape is not like a huge idented hole in my skin, a scar scab thing. It's ugly. All over my legs, I can't even show them anymore. I have atleast eight total. It's so noticable and so ugly and is going to be there for a long time. I don't know I really don't want to do it but I can't stop. I do it automatically without anyone even noticing. Does anyone else do something like this?

Yeah, for a long time I used to pick, bite and chew my fingers. Not my fingernails like most people do, but the skin around the fingernails. My thumbs got the worst of it. I think I forced myself to stop mutilating my fingers in college, but I couldn't give up the thumbs. Whenever I was nervous I would pick my thumbs with my other fingers or bite the skin off. Very compulsive. I did this my whole life right up until this year when my dad took our family on a caribbean cruise for vacation.

For 7 whole days I had absolutely no stress and I just stopped without even realizing it. My thumbs healed over by the time we got back home and I haven't done it since cuz there's no "hanging skin" to pick at.

I used to do it automatically without noticing like you. It's compulsive. I'm not sure how to stop it, but I've heard biofeedback is good. Or go on a 7-day vacation! It worked for me!
