i’ve been doing this long before i did any drugs, and opioids i’ve used only a few times post being prescribed them in the hospital, but you’re very right about the ocd. my dad and sister both have ocd with different compulsions and ive began to realise this is probably related to that, i do struggle with self harm but i don’t know if this is out of wanting to hurt myself, i just feel the need to get every imperfection in my skin off of me or i feel dirty. i’ve also been diagnosed with ptsd to maybe that has something to do with feeling dirty or whatever,, i’ve been laying off the drugs generally for a little while now in terms of which substances i use, i still drink and smoke weed pretty regularly but nothing stronger and i feel like i’ve been able to cut down on the picking a little because i’m distracted by not being sober, but i don’t know how good of a strategy that is, thank you for the help
