My Journey with Anxiety & Dermatillomania

While focusing on improving my health, I have taken steps to decrease my OCD, anxiety and skin picking habits. I have struggled with Dermatillomania, or skin picking, for the last 30 year. I have tried to stop by myself, with no real luck. I mainly pick on my face, upper arms and lower back. Decreasing my body focused repetitive behaviors has always been a struggle for me.

I found a Free Self-Guided Program that I am going to try. I am also actively looking for a therapist that deals with body focused repetitive behaviors and OCD. Keep coming back here and on my TikTok @lucy.creative, I will post updates on my progress.

For any fellow skin pickers, hair pullers and nail biters out there, please be kind to yourself today. You are not alone in this battle.
