I hate it when people tell me to “don’t pick!” Or “just stop”

i understand big time. I barely have any hair from pulling. I hate it.

I hate it when someone tells me “don’t be/get/show (insert any emotion here).” 

Especially when they show those same emotions a lot more often than I do.

First off, telling me not to be/get/show any emotion is basically taking one right I have by being a human as any human has. 

Secondly, by not being/getting/showing any emotions will keep it inside me which is unhealthy. I don’t deserve that. 

Third, if I didn’t have a good reason or was pushed enough to be/get/show that emotion I wouldn’t have done it and would’ve spent my time with doing something else. 

Tried doodling everytime you had the urge to pick ?

When a person doesn't have it himself, he can never fully understand. I know how it can *** you off, but just ignore it, the useless anger is not worth it. But I really can relate, my mom screams at me cause of it every time. What can I do. 🤷‍♀️

I can relate to this. I pick my head until it bleeds. I’ve been doing it since I was 13/14 and didn’t realize it was a symptom of OCD until recently.
