Question: OCD embarrassing in public!.!.!?
My OCD causes me to pick at skin irritations and scabs and it is really embarrassing to be covered in scars and cuts constantly!. I have had the occasional comment about them but most people realize that it is a problem and don't say anything!. I hate going out in public with my bare arms or legs showing as these are usually the places where it is the worst!. Does anyone else have this problem!? !.!.and does anyone know of any way I can get over this habit without medication!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Please seek professional help!. I read about one doctor who does not prescribe drugs but instead tries to have the patient trade the embarrassing ocd for one that is not!. Such as replacing yours with snapping your fingers, or concentrating on naming the presidents, anything that tricks your mind away from the picking!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
