I think both post are relevant in my mind, because I have ptsd and anxiety and depression and wondered if possible the skin picking could also be a peiece to the puzzle to something that was done during abuse, maybe not the exactly things but a reminder like blood or something. I'm kind of a very symbolic person that hids stuff in these ways since I also have D.I.D. I thnk the post was relevant here because maybe its not just purely a OCD trichotillomania thing this was my starting place. Also, I pick at bruises, nails, and ingrown nails as well, but decided to not put it in my initial thread post. Thanks for the advice!
