So basically I have a bunch of things wrong with my stupid brain that I’ve only recently realized is most definitely ODC…. I think. I compulsively pick at my skin for hours to the point of hurting myself just because I feel a small bump( dermatilomania). I pick out dandruff from my hair ALL DAY because the idea of my head not being completely “clean” makes me go crazy. I bite my nails, sometimes way past the point of comfort, because any imperfection is worse than cutting my fingers open. I literally pick my nose sometimes because the inside needs to be smooth. 

Is this all related to OCD and does anyone else experience shit like this? I feel insane and I literally can’t remember the last time my brain was at ease without all these urges. 

Also, does anyone know the actual effects therapy or medication could have…. like is is worth it? Do you think getting a diagnosis is more trouble than what it’s worth? 

THANKS!!
