I hate to self-diagnose here, but I've been trying to figure this out for years, and I'm hoping ya'll can help. When I was 6, I received a severe frontal lobe injury, ever since then, I have subconsciously bitten my nails/cuticles, and when I dont do that, I pick at them. Also, I have a habit of keeping excess papers(envelopes, junkmail, etc.), tho I share this trait with my father. Does this sound like OCD to anyone here? I have had these symptoms for 20 years now, but have yet to speak to a doctor or therapist about them. Do I need to? Please help.
