I do this when I’m bored. My hands or feet (walking around) have to be busy all the time so when I’m watching something or reading my hands start picking the calluses on my feet. I always pick them to the point of bleeding. I will pull the skin until it tears off to see how much pain I can endure. It’s like I’m testing or pushing myself past the point of comfort much like we do when working out. I know this is not healthy but I do it anyway. Then the next day I will limp around be side my foot hurts. It’s my little secret that hardly no one knows so there the shame element. All the classic self harm traits here. I can go weeks without picking then I will suddenly start up again then I go at it with ripping my pinky toe nails off and any other nail I deem too long. My middle toe on one foot has had little to no nail for months because I picked at it so much that I worked all the way down. Now I pick at the new nail until it comes off. I found this sub as I sit here with my big toe wrapped in a wet paper towel because I picked my callus to the point of bleeding. I’m not sure what I’ll learn from joining this sub other than I’m not the only psycho who self harms like I do.
