Picking scabs

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

I can scratch in false nails - they get better results for me, just as a warning.

I was just talking about this with a friend last night! She has a specific spot where she pulls hairs out of her head when she is anxious. I pick on the inner sides of my elbows (does that make any sense..? insides of my arms? ) and I also bite the insides of my mouth & lips and even my tongue.

I have been totally unsuccessful in stopping biting my mouth, most of the time I don't realise I am doing it until it is sore and bleeding.

I can stop picking though, just by realising I am doing it and making a conscious effort to busy my fingers with something else, and doing some deep breathing, lower the anxiety.
