So...this weird compulsion I have.....of peeling my face off......with my hands.....now I'm starting to pluck out my eyebrows..

It's leaving scars on my face. Now that I'm getting older, scars don't really go away....I used to be pretty. I feel depressed but I can't stop doing it. I don't even move. All day, I'm just fixated on doing this. It's so depressing. I'm stressed.

I have OCD and have the former. Long nails ,dim lighting ,avoiding magnifying mirrors etc help. Fidget toys and even toys to mimick pimple popping are good. Primarily you have to say no to yourself . Good luck,I know it's hard
