Just for a moment of reality

This is the type of anxiety or whatever disorder that is so hard to convey to my meds doc. I'm on lexapro and trazodone to sleep. Why am I still doing this.

These are just two fingers on one hand.

I don't know when the last time is that Ive had completely healed hands.

Wear bandaids on your fingers, 8r get something else to sooth like fidgets, rubber bands, play putty, poppers and such . Maybe chew gum?

You need a new self soothing technique .

@Nunatak I do when they bleed but can you imagine an office administrator just wearing bandages? its not accepted

@HellsBelle are bleeding scabbed fingers acceptable ?

@Nunatak I am so talented I am able to contain it and not bleed on anything and no one knows. I hide it well. Bandaids draw attention. I cut off bleeding and angle my "bad parts" away from anyone when accepting a document or business card handed to me.

@HellsBellewell they were just suggestions to help with obsessive self destructive behaviours.
Stopping one is hard, swapping it for another is easier.
Either that, or you work out what the trigger is and consciously build resistance to it 🤷‍♀️
