Safety Pins and needles...?!


Question: I don't have bad skin, nor am I on any sort of drugs that would make you do this, but if I happen to even think i'm getting a zit, I have this compulsion to stick needles in my face until I'm bloody and swollen. I am not into self destruction, it's just kind of...I don't know. It freaks me out how much I feel I NEED to tear my skin when that happens...Any idea what's wrong with me? Is there a strange OCD-zit thing out there?? Bleh...

YES.

There is...and it is similar to hair pullers and other tics.
It is not the same as OCD but it can be obsesssive in nature.

I don't know if reading up on it will help with out training yourself not to do it...but it is possible. Be patient with yourself and understand that just because the compulsion is there, it doesn't mean you have to do it.

Read the following websites that are enclosed. And remember if it is more than zits that you obsess over, it could require professional assistance at some point.

Don't let it get out of hand...and educate yourself on the matter.

u crazy az h*ll

woah ; i deff think its some type of OCD type of problem.

maybe you should go to the doctor and see whats wrong.

be careful sticking pins in your face because you don't know if they're dirty.. so yeah

ask your parents to take you to the doctor asap !

hope everything goes well =) ; good luck
