I just want to know if I am alone in this, I can’t seem to find anything about it. Since I was about eleven years old I have had a terrible habit of picking at my bellybutton until it bleeds or stings. Whether it’s with my fingernails or a sharp object. I don’t want to sound weird but I love the pain that it makes me feel, the stinging sensation pushes me to pick more and more until my bellybutton is bleeding and too sensitive. Since then, my bellybutton has scabbed over so badly that it’s a dark brown all around. I know that I should stop but I can’t bring myself to quit. It’s to the point that I find myself being excited to go home so I can stab my bellybutton in peace. Anyone else?
