So how should I start this post?
By getting right to it?
Surrrrre. Why not.
Incase you people didn't know, I pick at my scabs a lot. A lot of people find that gross, I don't really care.
A while back my mom started to notice my scab-picking-obsession again because a cut on my arm was bleeding a lot. She scolded me for it but I continued anyways. I covered it up with a sweater so she wouldn't see the next day, which reminded me of kids who cut themselves.
I've wanted to look up 'scab-picking' and see what comes up for a while and I finally did it just now. Apparently picking at yourself is a form of self mutilation, along with biting the insides of your mouth and peeling at your lip [which I'm doing right now]. It can also mean you have OCD and are symptoms of other crapola like depression. I googled it and took a looksie at every link, but didn't click on any of the "How to stop---" stuff. I've been doing this for as long as I can remember and have no intention of stopping.
I do pick at cuts/scabs and peel my lip when I'm stressed or angry but I never thought of it like that. bleh.
And I did have OCD when I was younger. I see it in my family a lot too [~__~ darn obsessive cleaning]. My symptoms were more compulsive like:
- Being stuck on words, images or thoughts, usually disturbing, that won't go away and can interfere with sleep.
- Repeating specific words, phrases or prayers.
- Needing to perform tasks a certain number of times.
100% true.
I started it after I moved to the current town I'm in and made strives to stop it when I was pretty young [coz repeating the things you do over and over and OVERRR again is just a tad bit annoying. just a tad...] [I didn't know it OCD until my cousin started talking about it though]. But looking at the list of symptoms now it seems I still do a lot of that stuff, just not so noticeably in public. In 8th grade Health Class we learned of the different disorders and had to write a report on one. I wrote a first-hand-account one on OCD and she asked to keep it as an example for future classes on the disorder.
ummm. How did this scab thing turn into OCD? O_o
*reads over* ohh okay.
mhmm, my Mom can't stand me picking at myself and peeling my lips. It's a whole lot worse in the summer though XD with all those pick-able mosquito bites. yep, although many of them have healed, if I pull up my sleeve or jeans, you can see a LOT of scars.
Done rambling :D
