I never realised how bad my picking stim was until recently. I currently have chicken pox (I never had them as a child). I have found myself picking at the little heads and scabs from the spot on my face, even though I know it can cause them to scar. I have to keep telling myself to stop picking them. It's like when I see or feel them I get the urge to try and pick them off, even if it hurts.
If anyone can help me with how to stop myself from picking would help a lot as I do it with zits too so I already have scars from them. I want to stop but I just don't know how.
I posted this in a Facebook group for autistic adults and it looks like the post was deleted at least 10 minutes after I made the post (1 person was able to respond) and I have no idea why it wasn't allowed.
