My stimm is causing more and more damage and its needs to stop,ive tried a few methods but it is so difficult!
I pick the dead skin off of my neck,sometimes the inner elbow,my face,or my chest.
because of this i am developing big skin tags all over my neck and chest ,my neck is sore too and hurts to move up.
my therapist told me to hit myself with a rubberband everytime i stimm ,but i cant bring myself to do it i just dont like hurting myself
my boyfriend knows i dont like wet sensations so he licked my face when i stimmed,still stimmed but with less frequency
I think i do it when i have higher levels of anxiety or im concentrating on a book or tv
most of the time i dont realize i do it,when i do it i cant stop it just feels to good/impelled to do it.
this started like 2 to 3 years ago when i started meds so i dont know if its related
when my mom angrily yells at me to stop i do it even more
also one of my stimms is going away to pick my nose,it comes and goes,it dosent really get to the point where i hurt myself but its unsanitary
i do it now mostly in the car and when i watch tv
