Dealing with OCD Symptoms: My Experience

wow. this is exactly how i feel.

ugh i’m the same way with the skin picking!! i’m so insecure about my hands!! also, i used to struggle similarly with the unbalanced feeling… but it went from touching things to eating. like i have to eat a certain number of this or that or else i’ll feel off all day, my vitamins have to match color perfectly, etc. etc… it’s really draining.

i pick at my skin and cuticles a lot too

Oo, yes, the skin picking! I do that particularly to my face- I have one mole I think I'll get permanently removed because I've ripped it open so many times - but even worse to my hands. I bite at the skin right next to my fingernails until it seems smooth enough or like it's the right shape (?) Which results in bleeding and bigger calluses, which makes me bite more...I have half a fake front tooth because I chewed too much and wore my teeth down
