I dont remember when I started picking, I just know I always have. Its mostly on the back of my upper arms. No tank tops for me! I read a couple articles on dermotillomania ( think I spelled it right), and it was me to a T! But my insurance does not cover any psychological care to even try to get diagnosed. I am a 32 yr old Mom of 2 kids. I do not want them to end up the same as me…..picking for hours because I am stressed or even just tired. I dont want them to have the scars and constant scabs. I sit in my room or in the bathroom forever just searching and picking, and get excited when I get a “good one” and then day after day, week after week continuing to pick at that same sore to try and get the good one again. I have NEVER talked about this before. i dont know if I feel good letting it all out or not. We’ll see. But it’s nice to know I am not alone anymore
