Dermatophagia + Dermatillomania?

Postby OpheliaIncarnate » Mon Apr 01, 2013 12:45 am

A 24/7 habit that grew from childhood.

Its gone from harmlessly nibbling at my own mouth and nails like most chidlren do and grow out of.
To a ritualistic behaviour of picking, biting pulling and even cutting flesh from myself in order to consume it.

And nothing is out of bounds.
If it can come off, it IS coming off and it will be eaten

I fear im developing trich too [and i pride myself on my hair, its my favorite things about myself]
but i cant stop playing with my eyelashes, and will remove as many loose ones as i can in a sitting.
This may just be a small thing now, but the skin biting was a small thing and now its something i dont go a single HOUR without doing.

Opinions?
Suggestions that could help me cut down

Gloves wont work because id bite my lips.
Nail varnish doesnt work because .. well.. id just pick that off and eat it anyway...
