@BurningEmber Fantastic list of resources!!! Thanks!

This is going to sound disgusting but anyway here goes....I pick my elbows and places on my head under my hair and also pick places under my feet- often i pick the old scabs off the skin until it bleeds on my elbows and head. I also bite inside of my cheek if I can't get to those two main places. I try not do my head so much because it was getting painful at times to brush my hair. So my elbows become my main spot, but they also get sore. I get agitated when my kids or husband tell me to stop.

It relaxes me and is a bit of an obsession. I don't want to hurt myself. It just sort of helps Sometimes I do it without realising it and when im stressed i do it much more, im embarrassed to tell people because it's discusting thing to do, my gp saw my elbows once and wanted to know what happened there... I told him something like its a bad habit i have. As a kid i used to bite my nails but I hardly do that too much now. If i put nail polish on i pick it off. Is it still self-harm or stress or am i just a freek?
