Whenever I'm doing nothing active, such as watching a movie, listening to music or trying to sleep, I tend to... 'pick' at my toenails until they bleed. My toe nails are completely destroyed and the skin around them is torn.
My doctor explained to me that this is apart of my obsessive compulsive disorder, which I have had since I was about seven years old. I've been doing this since then, so I don't doubt her.
Does anyone else do something similar? OR Does anyone have any tips to stop doing this? I don't realize I do it until it hurts, so it's not like I let this happen. There have been times though. It's like i'm addicted to doing this... And no it's not an attraction to pain, because once it starts to hurt, I realize it and stop.
Thanks!
