need to be giving more characters skin picking disorders
it's like such a big part of who I am as a person I need to inflict it on more characters
#seriously this is something i have had forever#like i remember picking at my nails and cuticles in kindergarten sticking needles into my skin in primary school#all the summer pictures of me as a kid at my grandparents have me covered in bandaids#because my grandma had to put special salve on the mosquito bites to keep me from scratching on them#between like 12 and 17 my fingers were often so bloody and painful that i taught myself to write with my left (non dominant) hand#I've been working on stopping since i was like 13 at least and I'm doing much better with it currently#but also god the relief when i was sixteen and discovered the word dermatillomania#learning that i wasn't a uniquely terrible person for being unable to stop#it's also really interesting though because it's very common but still so understudied#it's often grouped to be similar to ocd whichmakes sense for some people but not me personally#for me there's much more of a link with addiction and the genetic factors of that#because again I've had this all my life and like my dad does it too and he used to have addiction problems#and frankly i can tell I'm very genetically+mentally prone to addiction myself#anyways all the gallifrey characters pick their skin because I say so#jae says stuff#dermatillomania#tw skin picking
