Not Alone!!!

I'm SO happy this is a real thing, with a name!!! I've been picking for years and years, thinking it was a bad habit, telling myself of for it, being told off for it etc. But as much as I worry about it, I can't help myself. I subconsciously make myself bleed all the time and even when I consciously know I'm going to do it, the need to do it overrides the knowledge that it's bad for me. I have tried using blue tack to distract my hands but i end up putting the blue tack down so that I can pick. I pick my hands mainly, but also my face and back. I used to have quite a weird OCD but now I guess it's transferred. I'm just SO SO happy that there's a name, that it's recognised, and that there are actual treatments! And other people with the same difficulties! This is amazing.
