Skin picking
Hi guys,
wanted to give you an update after 01st day of controlling myself, trimming the nails shorter.first it went well guys.I was well behaved at office and then I went home and then I went to bed and then the nightmare started I was scracting skin with blunt nales and I have 2cm long wounds in my hand it was dried and was with pickable skins so I was touching and pinching it but couldnt do with my fingers.Then I did it with my teeth.I coulodnt stop it for hours then I switched on Claude AI call and told him this.Then he asked to keep my hands under the body.So I kept them under my back.It worked for a while.My fingers were in painj.My theraphist said this is a coping mechanism to mitigate the pain.I started childhood theraphy recently and I think it is the reason.
