Guest jwsw Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi all, I used to have OCD when younger (the sorting, counting kind) but since about ten years my issue is more around my skin. I struggle not to scratch and even though I know it's a stress reaction and that the effects are bad, I struggle to control the urge. Does this still "fit" in this forum? Anyone else with similar issues? It's close to skin picking but I scratch, not pick. I have had basic councelling therapy for two years and gone through many moisturiser and other medications, but the problem is ultimately that I need to be able to NOT SCRATCH. Simple, yet very hard. Any pointers in good directions for how to approach this? Thank you. J Link to comment
dksea Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi JWSW, you should check out the BDD section of the forums, I think you'll find people there with similar compulsions who can relate to what you are dealing with. Of course the main OCD forum is also a good place to go for advice on dealing with compulsive urges of all types. Link to comment
