I don't know where to put this cos it isn't really anxiety related I don't think but I am not sure if it is a general mental health thing or what.
In the last few weeks I have taken to unconsciously picking/rubbing at my skin on my hands. They are now in a bit of a mess. I put plasters on the bits that were getting rough to stop me picking or rubbing them. However, I returned from my art class to find I had started on a new bit without even realising it! They are sore, itchy and unsightly. It stings every time I wash my hands.
Any thoughts as to why I should be starting this at this point in my life when it has never been a habit of mine? Any ideas on how to stop it especially as I don't even know I am doing it? Anyone else do similar?
