ok, I have an issue that I can't seem to stop. It's weird and I dont know if anyone else does this!
I pick at myself.
like I pull my eyelashes, and bite my nails and I have little bumps on my arms that I can't stop picking at. I pull the hair (when I have any) on my legs, and I HATE ingrown hairs, I have to pull them out! If I ever have a zit (and it's rare) I have to pop it! I know its yucky! I pull on my hair too... I mean it's weird. And I drive my boyfriend nuts becasue If he has a zit or an ingrown hair all I want to do is take care of it for him, yes ew. I agree. but he yells "stop picking at me" when I do it, so I try not to.
But I can really only compair it to monkeys. YOu know how monkeys pick at each other to calm down or its like social thing. It calms me down.
I havn't ever talked to anyone. I figured who do I talk to and they would just tell me to stop. I have been pulling my eye lashes since 3rd or 4th grade. My mom asked me if I was pulling them and I denied it so she took me to the doc and said I was stressed. I still do it to this day. I'm 25 years old. And I do have a friend that pulls her eyebrows, but thats the extent of it as far as I know. Has anyone else had this issue or know what it's all about?
just thought I would see....
