Hello.
I'm 18, and for years and years I have had the compulsive urge to pick my nose. This has a few times resulted in bad nosebleeds, though they have healed quickly every time. Now, I am really worried that I could cause some arterial hemmorageorage and bleed to death through a case of absent minded picking (my problem is particularly bad when I just wake up, as I am not thinking straight when I do it). I've read about a man with dementia who apparently killed himself this way, though I imagine he would have had to penetrate very deeply in order to burst a major blood vessel- he probably had no insight whatsoever.
I just hope to be reassured that this sort of thing wouldn't happen to me in my case.
