I just had to email an Australian production company and beg them to either add a disclaimer to their website or reconsider their name of #PickingScabs Productions. Considering I have had #ExcoriationDisorder my entire life, it’s gross that somebody would name their company after it

These photos are hard for me to share. In 23’ I survived pulmonary embolisms & spent 22 days in hospital. During that time I developed excoriation (skin-picking disorder).
These scars carry shame for me, but they carry truth: I survived something terrifying. I’m still here. #ExcoriationDisorder

I go through this every single day. Anyone with this goes through it every single day.

I REALLY need people to read this because it’s EXACTLY what excoriation disorder (scab picking but worse) feels like in my brain. PLEASE. Someone. Anyone. #WritingCommunity #Writing #MyWriting #MentalHealthWriting #ScabPicking #ExcoriationDisorder

It’s called excoriation disorder. Yes, technically dermatillomania, but I don’t like that term because it sounds way too much like a televised professional wrestling extravaganza. #excoriationdisorder

Redirecting #SkinPicking is Harm Reduction in action
I make these Skin Picking #Fidget Bracelets as an #accessibility tool to assist #Disabled people with #Dermatillomania ( #ExcoriationDisorder). Whenever you find yourself picking at a scab, focus on the bands on this bracelet.

Hey. I’m still alive. I currently have a skin infection though. So uh… #ExcoriationDisorder really blows. What is that? Well, lots of folks know it as #Dermatillomania or #SkinPicking . It’s a problem that I’ve dealt with for a very long time. It impacts my life a great deal…clearly.

My #OCD always demands that I make corrections when I notice my errors, or else I get triggered and my #SPD gets driven int'overdrive.
