Are hair-pulling and skin-picking linked to deeper beliefs from childhood? 🤔

This study of 283 adults found early maladaptive schemas were elevated across trichotillomania, skin-picking and OCD.

Dermatozoenwahn: frühes Anzeichen von Demenz? Ein wahnhafter Parasitenbefall ist eine seltene und schwerwiegende dermatopsychiatrische Störung. Eine Analyse von 146 Patientinnen und Patienten aus dem Karolinska-Universitätskrankenhaus zeigt: 42% hatten psychiatrische Komorbiditäten, 10% entwickelten später eine Demenz.

a freckled and scabbed white arm with a tattoo film partially unpeeled on it

hey folks, it's the holy grail of #SkinPicking deterrents: tattoo film!~ way fuckin' better than bandaids or bandages or even silicon strips. it stayed on through my sleep. the edges are shrinking in a bit, so give yourself some margins. but yeah, wow A+

so it's become super apparent that the worst times for picking for me are when i'm winding down for the night and getting ready to go to sleep, and when i first wake up.

a couch with pink 60s flowered sheet, covered by purple Mexican blankets, covered by a TARDIS blanket, with a DENY/DEFEND/DEPOSE green cushion over a Mandalorian helmet, implication being "this is the way." oh, and 3 black vape pens sitting on the couch.

i re-made the couch, putting all the cushions back, and i found 3 full #weed pens! #score!!!

(the 10 million blankets are so i don't accidentally bleed on the really nice couch a friend gave us) because, #skinpicking #dermatillomania and holy fuck but this is an embarrassing condition agh

Ok #BookSky what do you have for me — looking for a young adult or middle grade book with a character facing a body-focused repetitive behavior (like hair pulling or skin picking). #BFFRB #SkinPicking dont make me try to write one, im not a novelist.

Ich habe ernsthaft so einen Schaden!

Offene Wunde, abgeklebt - ok.
Pflaster löst sich ab und verschwindet - ich kletzle, es blutet.. ich versuche mich zu beherrschen.. Nein!

#skinpicking ist tatsächlich ein Problem!

New face coverings to help with the #dermatillomania, or #SkinPicking #BFRB #OCD issues. I should probably wash the factory stink off them but they are otherwise tolerable. Could stand to be softer though. Dear Universe, you listening? Super soft face masks, please. #ForReasons

my face is self inflicted violence

Erstmal etwas heimeliges #Skinpicking betreiben. Es ist schon verrückt, welche ungesunden Angewohnheiten Zuhause eine größere Rolle spielen als unterwegs.
Ist für heute Abend so, ich versuche mir zu verzeihen und mich anzunehmen.

Nägelkauen kommt meist nicht allein! Wer exzessiv an den Fingernägeln kaut, hat häufig auch noch andere (psychische) Probleme. Worauf Dermatologen und Dermatologinnen achten sollten, zeigt eine Studie aus der Türkei.

Dermatolog|innen spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Identifizierung von Personen mit self-induced nail disorders, SIND) und bei der Aufdeckung psychiatrischer Begleiterkrankungen (unter Einbeziehung entsprechender Expertise). #skinpicking #medsky #derma #psyche

white person with freckles and blue eyes is wearing green glasses. they have red owies on the lower portion of their face. they are sitting in front of an open window with greenery outside.

I kind of feel like walking into a liquor store or something with my face bare and seeing if I can get carded, just so I can feel better about my fucking FIFTY year old face and its goddamn acne. #Dermatillomania #SkinPicking #BFRBs #OCDdisorders #ItsAWholeThing since #iQuit #BitingMyNails

Skin picking is common for Autists. Many of us use it as a stim, which growing up was likely less noticeable, than stims we’d get in crap for.

It’s reinforcing, too, as once you start, the more you want to keep going to try and even it out. Can you relate?

apparently i'm flaying my ownself alive so the fascists don't have to do it

Ugh. The wounds on my face are throbbing, I think the nerves are exposed or something. I've been pulling off progressively more skin as the scabs continue to grow.

I should really seek a new #therapist, the online program isn't cutting it.

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.

i know it's gross -- unsanitary / i know blood underneath fingernails isn't well-received by the general public / i know it looks brutal / i know it'll hurt and take longer to disappear /// i am trying, okay? / trying to resist the urge / to scratch at another scab / to peel off layers, skin, desperate attempts at healing / to make myself bleed in front of friends and strangers /// i am always trying / to contain the parts of me / that aren't pleasant nor proper

i am trying so hard / not to hurt too visibly / not to be a nuisance to others, or a danger to myself / not to risk infection for the sake of relief / not to tear myself apart just to soothe the restlessness within /// i know it's bad / terrible for my health and looks and / the way i am perceived /// but somehow stopping / still feels worse / than continuing to collect careless scars / for people to count and judge / so they can overlook what lies beneath / the sea of red i'm always drowning myself in

Nahaufnahme meines Daumens. Die Haut ist abgeknibbelt, unter dem Nagel und seitlich davon sind offene Stellen zu sehen, die offensichtlich geblutet haben.

CN #Skinpicking So sieht mein Daumen nach einer Familienfeier aus. Man macht Smalltalk, isst, trinkt, lacht und unter der Tischkante knibbeln sich unbeobachtet zeitgleich die Fingernägel ins Fleisch, bis es blutet. Damit man auch am kommenden Tag nicht vergisst, wer man ist. #traumafolge #notjustsad
