I was doing well, not picking at my skin for a while, then recent events began upsetting me and I began to pick again. I would say where I was picking, but I forgot, thanks to my meds, and can't seem to find that spot again. Maybe that's a blessing in disguise.
EDIT: I remembered now, I was picking at my lower lip. It's pretty sore now, to the point of myself using lip balm to help alleviate the soreness.

Hello. I understand the whole picking thing. I pick my scalp when I am stressed because my dandruff levels spike because of stress sadly. Your body produces more of the fungus (I am pretty sure that's what it is) that creates dandruff when you are stressed.
Anyways, do you cut your fingernails short? If not, that's a good start. I find that when my nails are shorter, I don't pick as much. Maybe buy a stress ball that you can use when you had the urge so you are still using your fingers, but not to harm you. Hope this helps ![]() Social anxiety disorder, GAD, OCD, and panic attacks Lexapro, 10 mg
