I picked my feet again. That's my most recent evolution of SI. I started with my fingers they get pretty bad. Then my legs, I scratch through the skin. Now that it's winter I find my feet are dry so the skin cracks every now and then. I found these pieces are "perfect" for picking. The worst part is it often hurts after because I have to walk on my feet. But it's like an "ok" hurt. I don't need it to go away it's just felt. Anyone kwim?
I've been seeing a T for a few months now. I told her about my fingers. I guess I figured she'd see them eventually and if I brought it up myself it could maybe passed off as "just a nail biting habit". I can't even imagine telling her about my legs and feet
I guess I'm finally realizing that I need to stop doing this. I just feel like I "have" to, especially if I find a piece of skin hanging or any healing skin.
I think I needed "someone" to know about it. Not a soul in real life knows the extent of the issue. If I'm having trouble walking on my feet I blame it on bad ankles (which I do have). Anyone have any tips for stopping this kind of thing?
