I will pick too much and they say ow! It will snap me out

I need to lighten up and be less serious.
Now that I am aware of it I think I am doing better.

But I have to be vigilant!
I am using a heavy lotion on my hands and fingers and cuticles at night when going to bed to soften the dry areas on my cuticles, it seems to be helping.

I think it’s good you realize Therapy could be helpful

I have a spot on my ankle that I have an open sore from scratching not even aware.. I now keep a heavy bandage on it as I apparently keep removing the regular types in my sleep ... sigh
