[Trigger Warning][Sensitive Images][Relapse] I ruined my leg. I know I need to stop. I can't.
Author Summary
The_Edgemeister is in relapse
Post Body

I'm a firm believer that mental illness can be genetic- I've most of the same problems that my mother and grandmother have. Picking is one of the many.

I've been... well, can one relapse for multiple days? Because that's what I've been doing.

I'm not formally diagnosed, but I've always had a feeling the skin picking was more than just a quirk. It's become a problem. I can barely leave my leg alone for more than a few minutes- it's at the point where most of the holes you see don't even bleed much now. I recently shifted from face to leg- mostly due to being called a drug user when I'm not.

I know I should tell my doctor. I'm just... I'm having a really hard time coming up with words. At least I know you all understand.
