Are you a picker?

Question

http://aplus.com/a/skin-picking-disorder so according to this article all pickers have a form of ocd. I don't believe it so I'm asking you guys if you pick and have ocd or if you pick and don't have ocd

Answer

Drives my SO crazy bc I pick at him too

Answer

It's embarrassing I have ocd and anxiety and when my face breaks out I pick at it I know it's gross I know I need to stop n I am trying too. I hate it and I hate myself for it. Hoping for a clear face and to be able to stop ruining my face

Answer

I pick at my nails, the skin around my nails amd my lips. I also chew on my lips. Drive my husband nuts. Lol I have periodic OCD. If that makes sense. I have times when anything out of place bugs me and I have to fix it, but some times I just don't care. But if I have a chipped nail, a hang nail or a cracked lip, it would make me physically uncomfortable to leave it there.

Answer

I pick at my lips and the skin around my nails . I also can't resist popping my zits, not sure if that counts though.

Answer

No but I pick at all the threads on my clothing. Many a shirt seam has been unraveled this way 😒😕

Answer

I'm not sure I completely qualify but I pick at my skin pretty aggressively

Answer

I peel the skin off my lips and fingers. I also pick dry skin off of other people too. Like if you have a lot of dandruff, I'm getting a comb and scratching that crap out. And I can't stop myself once I start. I have also been diagnosed with ocd tendencies.

Answer

I pick at my skin bad, I'll bite skin around my nails until raw and bleeding, I've gotten better since I started smoking weed again. Lol and I feel I have ocd

Answer

There's a huge difference between picking scabs etc. versus what the article is saying.

I pick scabs because they frustrate mean and because sometimes I get bored. But that isn't the same as looking at heathy skin and being under the dilusion that there is a scab/spot/mole etc. there.
