k so i have the wierdest habit. i compulsively run my fingers along, or scratch my scalp, and not because it necessarily itches. i feel along the surface of my scalp, under my (long) hair to see if there are any uneven places. if there are, i scratch them. i try to get all of the dry skin off of my scalp (which i know is impossible), and i end up giving myself dandruff. my favorite thing is if i can find a place where i've scratched before and have a good scab going. i pick off the scab then. i know picking scabs can be si. i don't know. maybe this is a compulsion. i've never heard of anyone else doing this, but i admit it sounds similar to trichtillomania in ways. i've seen trichtillomania called si or a compulsion. what's everyone's take on this? and do you think it's worth talking about with my T or is it just a quirk i have that doesn't necessarily need to be addressed?

comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable
