Or picking. It’s painful. I hurt. But I’m better than I was. 2 months ago I had over 20 wounds and now I have less than 10. So I’m improving. I wish I could get to none. Oh how I wish and pray everyday. I wish I had someone who understood what I’m going through but my counselor didn’t even know anything about the problem. I looked into getting hypnosis to help me stop but it would cost $2000 online and there’s no one in my area that would be cheaper. And there’s nothing saying that it would work. If I knew for sure it would work I would pay the $2000 for sure. Maybe if I lose weight I’ll be happier and if I’m happier I won’t do it so much. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just grasping at straws.

My autistic daughter does this. She has a lot of scars. Abilify is suppossd to help but it made her act out.

Before being diagnosed with sz, I was pulling my hair for hours from life and sz stress. But now on antipsychotics and no psychosis I don’t do it anymore.

I pick my scalp.
The only solution is to keep super short nails.
Like cut them every third day.
I feel for you, @Leaf, it’s a hard habit to kick.

It sounds like you’re making progress. Maybe try a reward system as wounds heal?
I know you can do this.
