Can't stand when my skin is rough.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site. I discovered this site by doing a search for OCD and then skin picking compulsions. I have been told by my family doctor that it is an OCD issue with me. I just can't stop. Some times I don't have but maybe one or two scabs. Then there are times like right now where I absolutely can't STOP! All it takes is running my hand down my arm or touching my face and if I feel an imperfection I HAVE to smooth it out. Does anyone else feel this way? I know it leaves scars and looks horrible but I can't stop. Thank goodness I don't have a bleeding disorder or I would have bled to death by now lol. I am on depression medication because I have mild depression and anxiety to where I can't sleep very well because my brain won't rest. I read another post asking about waking up at night picking. I have woke myself up from picking in my sleep! Or I will wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and I can't go back to sleep until my skin feels smooth. I use to be the same way with my fingernails and biting and picking them. I can change that brain wave whenever I want though. I hate getting my nails done at places because it gets expensive and damages your natural nails. So I will just decide ok I want to grow my nails and I do no problem. But when they are short and I have been picking them I get horrible hang nails that I HAVE to pick because they brush up against something or I'm bored. Then my fingers get sore and hurt and bleed. That is no fun. So you may ask if you can grow your nails whenever you want and not bother them why can't you stop picking every little imperfection? I just don't know. I know I'm 25 but I color. Go ahead and laugh but it is relaxing to me and keeps my hands busy so I don't eat and pick when I'm bored. So it works but I can't color 24 hours aday lol. My recent bout of picking has been since I had surgery on my foot. I don't know if there is something with the pain medicine and my depression meds that is causing the anxitey to intensify or what but I'm driving myself crazy! Amber
