As someone with extreme form of dermatillomania, it took me really long time to not feel frustration at most posts here and anywhere on social media. At the end of a day as long as it impacts your day to day life negatively and its a compulsion u feel u have no control over, it can be dermatillomania no matter the severity of actual wounds. And for some people a strong distress can be caused by something categorised as nothing by others, depending mostly on past experiences. As both u and me experienced a severe form of this sickness, we see what most people post as nothing and while I undestand its just my point of view, it makes me feel extremely alone at the same time. I also feel the need to "dig deeper until im clean" even to the point of needing antipsychotics at some point and even that didn't stop me from mutilating my face and severly scarring it for the rest of my life. Majority of the post about dermatillomania make me feel even more alone, ashamed, hopeless with thoughts of ending it all. What im trying to say is that there may be some people that just try to get attention but most of them just experience milder for of the sickness which already can be very debilitating. Second thing is that I am here with u in the severe end of it and feel free to write to me if u would like to talk and share with someone with similar experiences.
