Hey - new here

[Waiting for name]

Hey,

I just wnated to say this quickly and to introduce myself.

Im Laura and i now know i do suffer from CPS - through this site. I started to do it when i was around 8 and for the last few years thought i wasnt normal because no-one elses hands looked like mine. I thought there was no name for what i did and i was the only person horrible enough to do it. But just recently i found this site, and found out there is a name for it. Now researching it more - im actually happy there is a name and other people who can actually relate to me, instead of looking in disgust.

Im also really glad to see people actually post in these boards, as posts are up-to-date. I hope its ok, as i might be around here a lot were i can talk to people without being judged.

Good luck to everyone.

I just found a few forums online about scalp picking and I am completely amazed how many people have it! Often on shows like Oprah I see people with OCD and trich (pulling your hair) but I had never seen or heard of anyone picking at their scalp. I try to hide that I do it but it's hard during school when your arm is at perfect length on a table and it's so easy to do. I don't have problems when I'm busy, usually just sitting or sometimes driving or at night.

I'm so glad I'm not in this alone. Im not sure how any of my friends would really understand this but I'll try some of the meds out there and see if they help.
