✨ Feeling fidgety? ✨

✨ File your nails ✨
Make it harder for your fingers to pick, keep your nails short! Opt for a glass nail file for a smoother finish. Try to make it a routine to regularly file, by keeping one in your bag or car. If you catch yourself picking a hangnail, grab your file to reset.

This we're highlighting the common misconception that = .

Although picking at one's skin CAN be a form of , is a separate that stems from OCD-related stimulus control and self-grooming.

A distinction we often see between the two is intent. With self harm, the goal is often to feel something externally that almost acts as a release for internal feelings.

With Dermatillomania, picking one's skin feels more "accomplishment" based; such as smoothing a bump or leveling a spot. Sometimes those with Dermatillomania aren't even aware their picking their skin at all.

It's important to not make assumptions based on someone's appearance, as it only reinforces stigma. People who self injure can ALSO have Dermatillomania but they are not interchangeable.

And please remember, everyone's Skin Picking Disorder experiences are different and our resources are never meant to negate those experiences, but rather spread much-needed information on this often misunderstood disorder! 💓
