Ever since a breakup around 3 months ago, I've picked up the terrible habit of constantly picking at my lips -- Oftentimes they bleed, but it doesn't stop me. I just formed this habit a few months ago, and I've found that I can't stop. 

If I'm on my phone, my other hand is always picking at my lip. I know this is bad, and I feel if I stop it it will cause me major anxiety -- to the point where I avoid putting on chapstick (unless I'm going out, I'll be wearing a mask so I can't pick at them.. which annoys me too). I've tried fidget toys or other objects, but it doesn't give me the same sense of relief. Is it odd that picking at my lip gives me a sense of comfort throughout my day...? 

I'm diagnosed BP2 (+ GAD and MDD, if it makes a difference), and I know it isn't anything OCD related. I'm thinking of bringing it up with my therapist. Until recently I've just dismissed it as a bad habit before I realized I literally cannot go about my day without constantly having one hand picking at my lips (including as I type this post, lol).

Does anyone else have experience with this issue or advice on what I should do? 

I am on my meds (which I'm sure you're all familiar with having an extensive list of them, so I won't bother adding them all here), and noticed this habit forming after my breakup and around the same time I started Modafinil. (Diagnosed with extreme hypersomnia after a much needed sleep study)

I've already read articles on moisturizing, exfoliating, etc. But I feel like this goes beyond that. And of course cold weather doesn't help, since it makes my lips more dry and.. Pickable. Sorry for the rant, but I'd really appreciate if anyone else has experience with similar habits and how to go about getting rid of them/what the causes are. 

Thanks for reading, I'd appreciate any advice y'all may have. :)
