i have been reading the posts here for a couple of months. this thread demands a response. wow. i am a total picker. it is so horrible, but i can't stop it: face, scalp, back, anywhere theres a bump or something to grab on to. i *have* to pick all scabs. the worst is it feels so gooooood. there is something twistedly satisfying about it. i always thought of it as just a bad habit. this is so interesting.
thanks noa for all the websites.
i struggle with depression, am currently on effexor xr and just kicked a nasty pill habit (coedine). so basically i am a little messed up. part of my quirky charm! ha!i would love to stop all this picking it is gross and i would look so much better if i didn't do it. i do it so unconsciously that i have caught myself, at times doing it in public. gasp and shame.
i hope this threaed continues.
