You remind me of someone I used to go out with, she... ground? her teeth whenever she went to sleep.

u know they have medication for that... I know it for a fact because I take it

I also made an account to comment on this. All I have to say is I feel your pain, ive had OCD since I was 7 years old, and when I was young, although not as severe as picking in my sleep, it controlled most of my childhood life, and no one understood what it was or how to help me. Im a compulsive picker too, and when I was 9 I would pick my feet (eww i know) until it was too painful to walk. Even as i wrapped them in bandages. And anyone with this disorder knows that they simply cant stop no matter the pain. I dont think they had medication for it when I was a kid but you should talk with a psychiatrist/therapist who can properly assess a method of treatment. Because when the picking gets to a subconscious level, there is usually a deep underlying cause that might be unknown to you. Best of luck,

biggest lol of the day...oven mitts...hehe. I mean...sorry to hear that.

Dear OP, I have the same anxiety disorder (Dermatilliomania) and have had the same problem. Some tips: Do everything you can to lower your stress level. Drink lots of water! (this helps your skin look nice so you don't fret about it in your sleep) Take some ZQuil or whatever it's called for a few nights. It will knock you out cold and maybe a few nights away from it will help. Don't worry! With work and time it gets better!

Like that kid in Malcolm in the middle?

I sincerely hope you are seeking treatment, op.
