Hey! I have some doubts and i'd be really grateful if you guys could help me! Sorry for the long text. Well, since i was a kid i had some problem with patterns, i didnt like to leave the house so i could keep up a routine, and i had problems with bugs and things like that. IT wasnt much of a problem. In my teen years i started to pick on my own skin, i was obsessed with having perfect skin and as an acne prone kid i would pick on it relentlessly because in my head i was getting rid of all the imperfections but of course it only made everything worse. It got to the point where i burned my skin with products because something inside me thought that by doing it i would be cleansing it from anything that was making it impure, and two years ago i got to a low point in my life and it led to picking on my legs so hard that its badly scarred and Marked, so much that i cant bare to show it in public. And i continued to have a routine necessity that made it hard for me to accept things that wasnt in my original plans, i overthink things way too much and it's Almost impossible for me to make any decisions because i just cant decide. Anyway, i started therapy right after that low point i mentioned and it helped me out a lot, but i started to notice my anxiety, something that i just didnt think about even in my lower points. I was just so used to being so sad and lost and paranoid and feeling left out of good things (i spent all my teen years spending at least a couple of hours a day locked in the bathroom picking at my skin and only thinking about it, hating so much on myself that i didnt want anyone to see me, worrying about everything too much). Well, ive always had arachnophobia and was generally afraid of bugs but it also increased lately to the point where i start to cry by only thinking of it and when i see any bug it makes me want to clean everything and check my belongings because im terrified they'll climb on me (when i was little i had trouble sleeping because i thought something could climb on me at night, and a couple years back i intoxicated myself with repellent because i kept applying it every 5 minutes becaude i was sure some bug could get to me), and my room had a termite problem and it made me paranoid for weeks and during that time i started to get really bad anxiety, i started to have a lot of panick attacks (they werent common before) and doing anything was really hard, even getting out of bed was hard because thinking about making any decisions all made me start crying. At the time i went to a neurologist and he said my skin picking problem was linked to obsessive compulsive spectrum, habit disorder. When he said that i bacame automatically self conscious and my anxiety became unbearable, i went to a psychiatrist and started to take medicines and it helped with the anxiety but im still having problems with compulsions specially related to bugs now, i was exposed to lice a few weeks ago and now i cant stop thinking about it my head is already hurt from products and checking and ive been dreaming of spiders and other nasty things that make me panick amongst other things. I dont know how to feel about all this because i only started thinking about it recently even though ive suffered with skin picking for most of my life, i never thought it was related to anxiety and never even thought of ocd until going to the neurologist, but he only confirmed the habit disorder. What do you guys think? Everything ive been going through is habit disorder or ocd?
