BFRPs (body-focused repetitive behaviors) is the technical term. I’m a biter, pincher, and picker. Definitely compulsive behavior, not a habit.

So picking on my poor fingernails and hangnails would be considered an OCD, right? My nails are so thin and frail. If only my toenails and fingernails could switch places. Then that would be okay

Yeah! I pick my scalp and I guess maybe it's associated with OCD? It's not debilitating though

Yup, I do it almost everyday. It’s called dermatillomania. I do it when I’m stressed out as well and I do it out of bordem because I’m so used to doing it. Sometimes I have to put vaseline on my scalp every night before going to bed. It can really hurt because of the bleeding and soreness so I know exactly how you feel.

Hair pulling?
Does anyone else struggle with constantlyyyy pulling on a couple or a single strand of your hair? I do it mindlessly but it’s ALL DAY LONG and I’m so worried my hair is thinning from this or it’s becoming damaged. Anyone have any tips on how to stop?

Skin picking
Does anyone have any good tips on how to reduce the urge to pick your skin? I wasn’t aware that this was something often associated with OCD until my therapist told me about it. I regularly engage in skin picking especially on my face and it has made my acne even worse and lead to scarring. I don’t want to continue doing it but sometimes I just do it without even realizing I’m doing it.
