Greetings!
Hi, to all who visit this page!
I have started this new blogging journey with the intention of raising awareness of a little known disorder and a few others that interlink with this one, Excoriation Disorder.
I have suffered with this disorder for around 14 years, I am 29 years old. I am trying to find the reasons for why I do what I do. I want to learn my triggers and I want to be able to share my experiences and emotions with you all, throughout this journey.
It took me a long time to find out that this thing I did/do had a name. I found it by googling 'skin picking'. I felt somewhat relieved to find that what I was suffering with was a real thing, with a name!
But, wait a minute! What is this disorder? What makes me do it? Why can't I stop? Can I recover? This disorder poses so many questions.
It took me until I was 28 years old to be brave enough to mention it when I was at a Doctor's appointment. Even then I didn't show the doctor my skin because I felt embarrassed and ashamed of something I had inflicted upon myself.
I will continue my story soon.. There is so much to talk about.
