Have you ever heard the idea that ruminating on the past is depression and ruminating on the future is anxiety?

It sounds like you may suffer from depression and anxiety. Skin picking is called dermatillomania or excoriation disorder - it comes under the umbrella of anxiety and compulsion. But great news - there’s help for this! Today is a new day and a great day to start making positive changes. Schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist and a psychologist, and start your journey to health & well-being.

I also recommend finding some self-help podcasts that resonate with you. One that I find personally helpful is Christine Hassler’s Over It and On With It
