Have you ever picked your skin or pulled your hair? You may have a BFRB

Sometimes it's really a source of shame to see how much you affect your skin or scalp when you have a BFRB. I shared my story to destigmatize. Feel free to ask questions. I recommend our support group! https://app.treatmyocd.com/support-groups My Journey: https://www.treatmyocd.com/my-ocd-journey/picking-your-face-or-pulling-your-hair-you-may-have-a-bfrb. Hope you share your journey too!

I have always picked my lips to the point of bleeding and infection 😭

That's so rough. I hope you have some competing responses you try- like sitting on your hands?

This can be so painful. Have you tried competing responses like sitting on your hand, fidgets, using lip gloss when you want to pick.

I’ve hair pulled for almost 15 years. Never realised I had an issue until recently.
