I bought a fidget ring so when I find myself picking, I just spin the ring.
I’m an awful skin picker, does anyone have any helpful tips they’d be willing to share? I cannot see others comments x
You could take up crochet or something else that keeps your hands busy..? (Unfortunately it doesn’t stop me from biting my cheeks, sigh)
Yo me muerdo la boca (mejillas) por dentro, y me rascó muy fuerte la cabeza, incluso me he hecho daño. Lamentablemente esas 2 cosas me ayudan a regularme y me calman. En Terapia lo que he ido aprendiendo es a identificar las cosas que me producen regulación y me llevan a hacer esas 2 cosas, e intento, primero, evitar esos momentos de estrés que me hacen mal; y si no lo logro,utilizar algún juguete sensorial (en vez de hacerme daño en la piel). Los juguetes hay que ir probando cuál te sirve, en el mercado hay muchos. Espero sirva mi comentario, cariños.
There’s also so much anxiety from going out in public because of this. For the past few years it got really bad and it’s just now starting to get to the point where I have SOME of my confidence back. I haven’t been able to make content and it makes me sad
Oh.. yes i have it too. Sometimes even today. But cognitive behavioral therapy helped me a bit. The most helpful hack for me is to cut my nails weekly and to moisturizing my skin with a massage. But sometimes i have to much stress and i coulnd't stop it at one point.. .
