I pick everything

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this,Nice post. I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic.Thanks a lot. www.celraseshop.com/

i know exactly what you mean. before i saw this site, i like, didnt even realize that anyone else did this. i mean, i just didnt know. ive been picking since i was about 3. first i picked my nose, then scabs, then ears, then scalp, then arms, now wrist. part of under my ear is different than the other (now that its healed) my arms are all bumpy, and i feel so ugly next to all my friends' amazing skin. my skin used to be smooth, but now its all bumpy. i literally CANT sleep at night unless i pick.. and once i start, its like i cant stop and im in a trance. its progressing for me, and i can tell.. yesterday i was really stressed out and my teacher was talking and i felt really tired, and i just started picking my wrist...and i didnt feel anything except that relieved, collective feeling i cant even describe...and it went on for a while...i looked down at my wrist and it looked bloody but not extremely, it was like a burn. so i hid it...and then later, i had an urge to pick and i did it again, and now theres this big, swollen, gross sore on the side of my wrist covered in two band aids.. i need help..sometimes, when i pick my scalp lately, ive been feeling light-headed. my mom knows i pick, but she doesnt know about my wrist...she thinks i burned my self with a curling iron and the skin fell off... i really cant stop. and i feel so crazy and weird and gross and etc etc. and i want to stop. but i need it to function it feels like... im so confused.

ICANTSTOP, i must say, you are in the same boat as ii am, if not worse. you NEED to bring this toy your parents attention for help. theres other disorders that branch off of O.C.D., but regardless of the name, it's a problem. I develope some depression due to it, and lost my dream of being a model due to this. I don't do my feet, but the rest I ddo. I don't do my scalp too much anymore luckily. But anyways, I understand since this is a relatively new term (dermatillomania), alot of older people (i.e. parents lol) dont quite think its an issue. please encourage your parents to take you to your physician, tell him/her youdo these things, then they will taake it from there. it is very real, please seek help! myspace.com/kris13tina

hi there, im a 5 year veteran of this disorder, and i remember when i was 16, my mom wouldnt really take me seriously, but i think she just thought it was a bad habit, so i dont blame her, but anyways i am now 21 and my entire body, and husbands body too is scarred up bad. if ur parents dont take you seriously, tell them do the research, but its a fairly new disorder. (Dermatillomania) i hope you can seek treatment, and again, keep pushing the situation. thnx
