Hi. I'm new at learning about skin picking. My story is I have this habit of picking my scalp and eating the skin under my finger nails from the scars from my scalp. I'm not sure what triggers it but I don't want to leave any stone unturned in unraveling what may have happened to me as a kid. I have ptsd, did, anxiety, psychosis, and depression. I read about psychosis and the tie in there in the forum from here. This is really embarrassing to talk about mainly because it seems like a kids anxious habit. I wondered if this fits with SI/ptsd, but there seems to be a distinction when I started reading this forum. A long time ago, I used to be enamored at picking other parts of my body. This doesn't seem to be a thrill or a necessity just a habit. As far as I can remember it may have started with permanents left in head too long and the need to pick my scalp became a habit. Thanks for reading
