    Recently put two and two together, and I believe I’ve had Excoriation (skin-picking disorder) for years. I never truly realized and just figured I’m a nervous person, I have anxiety, probably just a bad habit I can break. But I find myself doing it excessively, not being able to stop and feeling incredibly guilty, afterwards. I haven’t spoken to my doctor, yet, and I’m worried I’m right. I’m worried that I might have yet another issue to deal with, yet another thing for my parents to worry about, yet another thing that feels out of my control and causes me to feel shameful…

    Mood : Anxious
