.COMPULSION. (The camera position isn’t quite right) but this is why I don’t like cutting my nails short - I end up picking at the skin more without realising - I think I’m subconsciously trying to smooth out/get rid of the ‘faults’ - but really all it does is leave a mess which is just painful and irritating.

Another moment of bravery or stupidity, I haven’t decided yet. I’ve lived with dermatillomania my entire life and the most damaged part of my body from this is my legs. There was one stage in my life where I had more holes and cuts than I did skin on my skins. People shamed me, people I knew and complete strangers. Up until a year or two ago I would still wear jeans or sweats in the summer just because I couldn’t stand the way people looked at me and judged me over something they didn’t understand. From a distance, they don’t look so bad and I can go for a walk or chill at home with family while wearing shorts but I’m not comfortable in an environment where people will actually get to see my legs close up and my goal is to work in that so I don’t have to die of heat in boxing class come summer. I want to go to class in shorts with the @banksmartialarts_boxing logo printed boldly on them and feel the same price I do when I wear my shirt to class because I’m proud of what I’m doing there and the people I get to train with. Dermatillomania has forever scarred my body but I’m working on learning to accept my body and love myself as I am, scars and all. ————————— #NotBlowingSmoke #VapeCommunity #VapeJuice #PartiallySightedVaper #SJsCorner #Vaping #VapeFam #JuiceJunkie #VapePorn #InstaVape #Vape #VapeFriends #Dermatillomania #CompulsiveSkinPicking #Scars #OCD #BFRB #MyJourney #MentalHealth #PleaseBeKind #ThisIsBeyondScaryForMe https://www.instagram.com/p/B9el4WBlcQd/?igshid=151j8foeqjtki

Here are my last 4 days! Today I will admit that I picked a few spots. A lot fewer spots than I typically did and not as severely and intently as I used to do, but I still picked (and I'm pretty sure the redness on my face showed up in today's pics :-\). And you know what? That's ok! Progress is never a straight line, and relapses happen. I could choose to be super upset and see this step back as failure, or I can recognize that this relapse is part of my healing process and an opportunity for me to learn new ways to help myself. I choose to continue to celebrate the massive success I've had over the past 17 days rather than let this small setback discourage me to the point of ending my journey 🙌 #dermatillomania #dermatilomania #compulsiveskinpicking #skinpicking #excoriationdisorder #recovery #mentalhealth #PickingMe https://www.instagram.com/p/B8DN3iAJRju/?igshid=1m5jphbyq2277

i saw stuff on r/compulsiveskinpicking about nac as a treatment but it's in the process of being taken off the shelves by the fda bc they're studying it may prevent covid and the shops are always out of it because it's used for a lot of things. but there was a study about it in regards to excoriation that it was effective. at the vitamin shoppe they were out of it but the employee directed my dad to a multivitamin that contained it. so he got that for me

I've been biting my nails, cuticles and picking my scalp for over 20 years. I also pick off any scabs I may feel on my body (which take a longer time to heal). #skinpicking #scalppicking #dermatillomania #excoriationdisorder #trichotillomania #ocd #compulsiveskinpicking https://www.instagram.com/p/Bod_Gbane0r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eqslu9c6268p

This is for the amazing work the @pickingmefdn is doing and the #whatswithurskin campaign Normally I put band-aids on my fingers if I’ve been picking them, so I don’t have to answer many questions about what’s going on with my fingers. Over the past few years it hasn’t been as bad, but every now and again, usually when I’m super anxious I’ll pick until they bleed or it’s too painful. Figuring out why skin picking, which I consider a form of self-harm, and a coping mechanism to deal with anxiety has been a huge part of my recovery from mental health problems. I've developed many coping skills to help myself heal, but they don't always work, and I'm learning to be at peace with that. The most important thing for me is that I'm dedicated to healing and I take my mental health very seriously. The hardest question I've ever really had to answer was from my son. "why do you have those band-aids on your fingers daddy?" Not an easy question to answer to a little kid, and one I haven't found the right words to describe. I've said things like, oh I cut or scrapped myself. Since the worst of my skin picking is definitely behind me, and I always covered them up with bandaids, I was able to hide the worst of it. I think it's important for people to be aware that these issues are complex, and there are many ways we can heal from them.  When our focus is on the healing and what we can do to help ourselves, we're empowered and we can thrive regardless of our challenges. I hope this campaign and your work continues to do that! I'm grateful for people like you and I see this type of work as the key to addressing the problems our healthcare systems can't solve. #mentalhealth #mentalillness #recovery #wellbeing #wellness #resilience #love #compassion #advocate #skinpicking #compulsiveskinpicking #mindfulness (at Old Toronto)

This is terrifying for me. Letting people see my body. Letting people see my scars. My new mental health goal is to not just live in body, but to own it. My body has been through so much, more than most know and I should be proud of it. But I’m not. I have lived with dermatillomania my entire life. It has affected my entire body from my scalp to the soles of my feet. My skin constantly feels wrong, like it doesn’t fit, like it’s not mine. I pick and scratch at myself and the worst part is that most of the time I don’t even know I’m doing it. I’ve tried therapy, medications, analgesic creams, nothing works. So I’m shifting my focus. I’m going to try to teach myself to be comfortable in my body. I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to do that because between dermatillomania, EDNOS and some other stuff, I have a rather distorted view of myself. I can see the strength and beauty in everyone except myself and I’m hoping that if I can change that, I will finally be able to beat dermatillomania and that I will stop destroying myself by literally picking myself apart. What you see in this picture, is not that bad for me. I have been much, much worse but I don’t want to settle for ‘better than I was’, I want to finally beat this thing that has dominated so much of my life. That makes it so I want to hide away in baggy clothes. I want to stop putting holes in my tattoos. I want to not constantly be deal with infections and the pain that comes with them. I want to look at myself and not see something that needs fixing. There is no such thing as perfect and there is beauty in our imperfections, I know this and I believe this. I can tell everyone that they’re beautiful and that scars do not define them or make them ugly but I’ve never been able to apply to this myself. I wanted to be able to show the extent of dermatillomania but this is all I can bring myself to show. I’ve still got another 5 or 6 months or whatever before I get “intense CBT” but I don’t want to sit on a waiting list doing nothing. I want to try. This is me trying. #SJScorner #MentalHealth #OCD #ICD #BFRB #Dermatillomania #CompulsiveSkinPicking #ExcoriationDisorder https://www.instagram.com/p/B67BkxMl--O/?igshid=zn27hg0bwfvq

Daily posts are overwhelming but I'm still doing daily selfies! ^_^ I notice that I still tend to look and feel for spots to pick out of habit but I've been able to catch myself and stop myself before I pick things for the majority of the time and I'm super proud of myself 😄 I had paper taped over our bathroom mirror for years to try and minimize opportunities to see spots and be triggered to pick, and now I feel confident enough with urge surfing that the papers are off!! :-D I think it's time to celebrate 🎉🎊🤩 #dermatillomania #dermatilomania #compulsiveskinpicking #skinpicking #excoriationdisorder #recovery #mentalhealth #PickingMe https://www.instagram.com/p/B8DMuvUJkGy/?igshid=14zeu6l4lp07l

Write to Cope.

At about 4 years sober, my life took a dive-bomb into the shitter. I did all the right things: went to meetings, worked with others, talked to a God I wasn't sure I believed in...and yet it continued to get worse. Fuck recovery, fuck god, fuck everything. The single worst year of my life of forty-something years. I want to die. I am over this fucking life that isn't a life worth living. Can't do it myself though...partly because I am a pathetic wuss, and partly because I have kids that really, really need me, and I can't bear to leave them lonely. So, I dig into my skin until it bleeds, I cry at midnight, and I keep it inside of me because there's no safe place to put the kind of pain I feel.
