Frustrating
I’m finding it frustrating to get a post seen here. I’ve asked about anyone jn my age range (midlife) and also if anyone has been healed from body-focused repetitive behaviors (like nail biting or hair pulling), and haven’t received a response. It’s left me feeling extremely alone on this platform. Is it 99% age preteen to 20-somethings? Not to diminish their very real OCD issues, but we face different challenges as older adults. I am looking for peers. And I’m looking for anyone really of any age that has found help for their BFRBs. Mine are out of control. My nails are awful. I’ve had to file teeth a few times in the last year due to chipping and creating grooves due to nail biting, and I can’t seem to stop. It’s getting WORSE. I literally have tendinitis in my elbow that’s due to nail and cheek biting. Last time I had to get a cortisone shot in it due to a fluid collection that was caused! I need HELP.
