i cant stop picking at my fucking skin.its been going on for as long as i can remember. bored? rip off the skin off of my fingers. hungry? rip the skin off of my fingers. stressed? same thing. at this point i don’t even realize it when i’m doing it. i’m so done. my fingers have become raw and sensitive. they’ve become aching with stinging pain and no longer smooth. they are irregular, irritated painfully, and they are hard to not notice. i wish i could stop but i just can’t. i’m literally doing it right now. for some reason i think if i keep doing it enough, my fingers will be smooth again, but i know thats not true at all. they bleed and its bothering me so much. i don’t have a nail clipper with me, i forgot to pack it, i’m on vacation, so it’s really bad right now because of how sharp my nails are. i don’t have any fidget toys or anything like that that would help dermatillomania, and i don’t wanna ask my parents for any because i know they’ll judge me for it. i wish i would stop.
