Question
I don’t know if this is skin picking, or hair picking. I pick and scrape the skin off of my toes, but I also dig into my legs to pull out a hair. Just needing some advice

@Bigotina No I moisturize every night. And for my legs I purposefully yank skin off of my legs and then pull a hair out

@Bigotina Don’t have one. I got discharged from therapy about a year ago. I’ll see what I can do.
@Bigotina Yeah no I do all of these things. I just wanted to know if it was skin picking or hair picking. I’ve tried everything I just can’t seem to figure out how to get myself to stop. I’m not worrying about it I’m just confused cause I don’t know where it falls. I appreciate your help tho. I really do. And my therapist discharged me cause I was fine and able to live again. Bittersweet moment cause I loved her but still ☺️
does anyone else struggle with this? specifically it is my eyebrows! i get a thought that one hair feels weird, and i’ll pull it out, but then i can’t stop because it triggers me to think another one feels weird. now, i barely have any hairs on either eyebrows. i keep trying to grow them back but it feels impossible to stop pulling the hairs sometimes. i’m excited to talk to my nocd therapist about this so i can start to regrow my eyebrows and not have this compulsion affect me so much!
Does anyone have suggestions on how to stop picking at their scalp?
Hey, my name is Mercy and I have a hair pulling disorder and I was wondering if anyone has some advice for stopping my habit. Thanks
