ive been aware of trichotillomania for many years which i do not nor have not ever experienced myself personally but know people who have and do

but i googled something ive been doing alot lately and something ive down since i was a child, i have memories of my mother and even my father telling me to stop picking, i was never punished but just told not to do it

i still do it today as an adult on and off, i have permanent scarring/ indentations on my face but no long term damage to my fingers, i dont know why i do it, usually when im anxious or stressed, even though my fingers or lips are bleeding ill carry on

anyway until today i dint know it had a name and im understanding more about myself as i get older, just wanted to put this down in text for myself really, thanks for reading x
