I have been tearing my skin off my hands and feet for so many years that I don’t know if they will ever look normal even if I did manage to stop. I can’t stop picking even when my hands are too raw to shower or when my feet hurt so much that I can’t walk without limping. My trash can is filled with the skin I rip off. I’m just sad and tired by it. It’s been like 15 years or something. Just venting. Nothings worked.

      I am in the same boat. Everything is stained with blood because of my picking and sometimes I make my feet so bad that I can’t walk. That’s why I’m on this app I don’t know anyone else going through this. We’re in this together 💕

      Thanks for your reply. Things that helped a little bit were buying mobile gaming finger sleeves to wear when I did things like read or watch tv. I wore socks around the house and that really helped picking my feet but then I started getting a fungal infection from wearing them so much. So I had to stop. I haven’t heard of that therapy? How do I learn more?

      Hey mulch, I’m sorry for your situation. Was there anything that helped even a little bit? I’ve found biofeedback therapy to be pretty effective for me
