Okay, I must say if I culd diagnose myself with any disorder- without exagerating the symptoms to a point were it would fit a disorder just so I could have a nice little label- I would have to say that I'm a hypochondriac. Every headache a possible annyurism, can't remember names or number patterns but my memory in everything else is above average and I must be somewhere in the autism spectrum, aside from this I know as pretty much a fact of life that I have anxiety and depression.

For a time I thought myself to have OCD. Yet over time I've come to realise that I probably don't even though I show alot of the syptoms for one reason and one reason only- the lack of consistancey. (even though every single time I take the OCD screening test here I always end up with a score of 20)

That is of course until today, when in a rush of god-knows-what I couldn't keep my hands off myself. All day. And when I say that I can't keep my hands off myself I mean I was constantly picking at myself, scatching even if I wasn't itching, randomly rubbing skin on every surface of my body minus the genetalia, and of course the hair pulling thing where I could faintly hear in some part of my brain telling me that I wanted every single hair off my scalp because it was just a hassle for me when I was picking at my scalp (I even went so far as to take a pair of tweezers and randomly start puling out hairs- regardless of wether or not it hurt...which is new to me because I stop picking at myself when I start hurting)

It's just bizzare really.
Most days I'm perfectly fine, occationaly running my fingers through my hair or picking at my shoulder.
And then today? BAM.

And yeah,
This is starting to bother me only because when I feel the back of my head the hair there is dangerously thin to me, like I'm just a few episodes like this away from a bald spot.
I'd wear a hat or something but you can't wear hats in school.

Let me tell you this though-
It's not anxiety that causes me to pick at myself
It's just like I get a rush.
Strange really

It is very possible to have signs and symptoms of a number of psychiatric illnesses and not fit the "label" of each of them.

As for picking at yourself I do the same thing. In fact I wiggle my toes so much that my feet actually burn. I also have a history of self-mutilation which is what picking at yourself may be.

You need to work with a T or P to find out why you would abuse youself.

Yes, see a therapist; sounds like you have an impulse control disorder/trichotillomania:
