So I suffer from a extreme anxiety and one year in high school I was just so stressed. I had just gotten out of the hospital due to another health issue and I was so scared I was going to fail my classes that I started picking. Now before this I already picked at myself and my shoulders are littered with scares from it, but this was on a whole new level... I picked at my septum (the thing that separates your nostrils) and I did it so much that I actually got through. I have a fairly large hole in my septum and a button now because the surgery to try and make it heal over didn't take. Now everyday I'm checking to see if its gotten loose or if it might somehow be infected. It is something I regret so SO much anytime I think about what I did I cant help but sob. It's apparently something that happens more often then you would think but there is never a day I don't regret what I did. Because now I just have one more thing to be worried about.
