#skin picking problems

[dealingwithderma]

My lips are so incredibly damaged from the years of picking. Not to mention I got bit by a dog and had stitches a few years back, so there are sooo many damaged nerves throughout my bottom lip. It makes it nearly impossible to pick bc I keep reaching for that feeling, but in reality I can't feel shit so I just keep digging. It's so annoying omfg

You know what. Dermatillomania really fucking sucks and it takes so much time away from you, you can't even finish your homework, because you spend hours ruining your skin and you cannot focus at all. Plus you look like you've got some skin illness after you're finished, because you dug deep into the skin to get some 'dirt' out which sometimes isn't even there. Then you get so ashamed and try to cover it all up. Sleeveless clothing is never an option. Tissues nearby all the time. Blood on your clothes. Feeling people watching and being grossed out by your skin. Losing every last bit of confidence.

People need to really fucking talk about Dermatillomania, because it's real and people suffer alone in shame.
