I have dermatophagia, and I feel like it's ruining my life. I've tried so hard to stop, but nothing ever works. I'm so self conscious of my hands, they're always covered in raw spots/injuries or scars, I can't ever look at them without wishing that I was just normal

It took me a long time to get to where I am now, but genuinely the thing that got me to this point was drinking water. It sounds dumb, but literally having my water bottle in my hands at all times kept my my hands busy. Having a chewyish straw lid kept my mouth off my hands. I kept hydrated to help my skin. This can just be a me thing. I don't except it to be a cure all, but I really hope you can find what works for you soon. It sucks. Having messed up skin sucks. It's painful and feels so alienating. I wish you the bestš
