Hello!! My name is Emily and I am from NE Ohio. I am 23 and currently am a stay at home wife (looking for work). I am a recent college grad in speech therapy.
I think I may have Dermatillomania. Also known as Compulsive Skin Picking (CSP). I have always picked at my skin, but never as badly as I have recently. I am very ashamed and angry at myself for doing this so much, my arms and breasts are the worst. My back and face have some scars on them as well. I decided to google "I pick my scabs" and found out that I probably have a form of OCD. I think this because CSP is the worst when someone is depressed and/or anxious. I have definitly beed depressed lately, I spent 5 yrs in school and cannot find a job. I am home all day with nothing to do.
I also stutter. So now I think I have a double disability, stuttering and OCD.
Well anyways, I'll probably post a thread in the OCD section of this forum and see what happens.
I am thinking about getting acrylic nails to help reduce the picking, and I am constantly working on my happiness and trying to reduce my depression.
