...See more @MusicCandy Hi! I decided it was easier to just start a new thread. I can't figure out the old one. I am headed to my mom's tomorrow until Sunday night. Today is the fifth anniversary of dad's death. I couldn't get up there today, so it's the first time I won't be with her on the actual day. I won't be on here this weekend, so I'm writing this on Wednesday. Yesterday I made my first trip to the mountains in a long time. I hiked to Mary's Rock. It was not crowded and was great weather. It was kind of funny hiking in a t-shirt with snow on the ground! Today we are celebrating my DIL's birthday. The actual day is Saturday but I'll be at mom's. I am going to make the Korean dessert that I made for New Year's, since their dog ate all the leftovers and she didn't get to try much of it. Then I have some cleaning to do, and some errands to run, and then pick her up 45 min away because my son is here at work near our house. I'm going early enough to drop by my other son's house first to meet his new dog. He and his fiancee are adopting a 2 year old. I need to do laundry to prepare for my trip, and need to write detailed instructions for my pet sitters. I have an old note to work from, but I have a new lady coming one day and I need to make it extra-detailed for her. She is a pet sitting company, so it will cost me, but I need another person in my rotation of feeders. So it's a busy day today! I am grateful for my spring break this week that allows me to do all these things. I spent the weekend doing very little because I knew the rest of the week would be very busy! I don't like getting home the evening before I have to go back to work, since I won't get laundry, shopping, or cooking done, but it couldn't be helped! I hope the new thread works out, and that I tagged you correctly so you will see it! I hope your week has gone well, and here's to five more years of messages to come!

...See more I have never been diganosed specifically with dermatillomania, but I have picked my fingers to bleeding since I was a child. I pick every finger from the cuticle up to the first knuckle and sometimes around the sides of a finger. I pick mindlessly while I'm driving, I pick while I'm nervous, I pick all the time an I can't stop. If there is a loose bit of skin I have to pick it even though I know if will bleed and just look worse. I have spent my life trying to hide my fingers from people because they look awful. I have accidentally gotten blood on my clothes, on papers, etc. I tried about 6 different medications and none of them helped at all. I tried therapy and that did not help either. I stopped both meds and therapy last November. I also struggle with depression and anxiety. I wasn't depressed as a kid, but I guess I was anxious and I guess that's tied in with the finger picking.

...See more My dad is 90 and has had a lot of health problems in the last few years but received a terminal diagnosis this week. We don't know how much time he has. I have cried a lot this week, and would like somebody to talk with on a regular basis to cope with him getting sicker. I have a wonderful healthy living buddy who is helping me a lot. I know he's going to die though, and I want to surround myself with as much support as possible now.
