Dermatillomania

[Peter]

Big. Time.

I don't really care how scarred up I get, as long as it doesn't cause permenant or serious nerve damage i'm okay with it.  I tear the shit out of my cuticles, I have torn OFF my two big toe nails.  I pick ANYTHING which could be construed as a blackhead or a zit(even small lumps on my scalp).  I tear the dry skin off my lips.  I pick earwax out of my ears.  The works.

You have a remarkable ability to make me feel queazy.

Theres a woman on another aspie site who has to  sometimes useto a wheelchair because of the damage she does to her legs in this way.

Good grief.

I do wonder why I haven't scarred on my fingers from all the damage I've done over the years.

Yuck, people!

I was picking a inflated mole down on my grown, but I don't do it that much.  I just bleeds and I get sick looking at blood. I have pretty much stopped that habit.  My dad has a big one on his back, but not as big as my dad's.

You have two dads?  Are they both your uncle, too?

I think that's just another of Flo's typos.  I don't think he's from West Virginia or some other place where things like that are more common.

I am trying to change my attitude towards this mole. I am trying to think about it being a clump of dark pigment that affords greater protection from the sun. I think my skin is too light, and it did get me into trouble one time.  If I pick it, it just bleeds and I don't know  it might just come back if I pick it off.

I wish I could change my attitude about my cuticles.  I'm putting an attempt to cut back on the chewing off until there's a little less uncertainty in my life.  (Not stress- there will always be stress- but less uncertainty, which is one of my worst forms of stress.)

i wish we all could change our attitudes towards moles.

the moles have been discriminated against for long enough.

can't people and moles live in harmony?

To an extent I don't like it either, but I deal with it.  Its a given that you will get better over time, unless you are so disfuctional that it does not.  Uncertainty can make things more intresting.

I have been too lazy, but i would be interested in elective surgery to remove all of my nails permenantly.
