why do you pick your skin?
i have some questions that hopefully could be answered. i know everyone is unique. i am trying to learn more about this OCD/BDD and want to gather info from those that suffer from this. here it goes:
1) were you vaccinated as a child?
2) did you get updated on your childhood vaccines?
3) do you get flu vaccines?
4) when growing up, did you get spanked for not behaving?
5) what is your diet?
6) as a little child, did you feel scared, anxious, nervous, sad, get your feelings hurt for lil' things ( i know that for a child it is not little things, but looking back and now as an adult were they little things?)
7) were you able to express you feelings verbally?
8) how/what do you feel right before you pick your skin?
9) did you receive any type of professional help as a child?
10) how did your family/friends react when they found out you do this? (and how did it make you feel?)
11) as a child (or maybe still) do you fear your parent/s? if so, why?
12) how old were you when you knew for sure that what you are doing is not good to do?
13) how old were you when you realized that you have a serious problem and need help?
14) what have you done to help stop your habit?
15) what do you feel has helped you?
16) do you watched scary movies (even as a child)?
17) what type of hobbies do you do?
18) are you a picky eater?
19) what blood type are you?
20) how many sibblings do you have?
21) did you ever (or still do) take medications? if so, which ones?
22) have you tried to do natural remedies? if so, which ones?
