it’s called dermatilomania or excoriation disorder I have seen my GP for it few times, it’s quite a common condition associated with mental illness and depression

My nerves are on edge with the.esa migration coming early. I'm trying to stay positive, I got health issues I'm needing blood tests next week. My daughter has health issues with her eyes so I've been supporting her. She's 25 also with Autism and bpd

It’s so hard dealing with so much stress it’s always very overwhelming when there are several things all happening at once on top of our normal struggles, life is unbearably hard sometimes. I hope everything works out for you and your daughter

I've picked my skin for years @Kali85 I was curious if it affected anyone else . It's a difficult one to stop doing I must admit. Thank you for the feedback.

I'm so sorry to hear what's occurring for you right now. It's understandable that you are feeling as you are under the circumstances. You have got a lot on your plate. I wish none of these issues were occurring for you but I wish you and your daughter the best of luck with all issues concerned. Fingers crossed for you and your daughter.

Thank you both , I know by reading the comments on Scope that it's causing anxiety in a lot of us. The dwp ,government shouldn't rush these things and help people move in stages. The tory government and dwp have a lot to answer to, by treating disabled people this inhumane way

Your welcome @Andi66 . Just hoping this government is more kinder . Take care and good luck 👍.

I think that's why I go to my bedroom in the afternoon @Kali85 just to get away from everything for a while.

thank you both for all your comments it really helps speaking with people that understand exactly how hard life is for us, I think it’s disgusting how the government treats disabled people yet people that break the law get so much financial support and help with navigating their life after prison or after numerous attempts at rehab.

Yes they can @Strawberry1 the usual term for it these days is "AuDHD" it's what they think I have, but I'm still waiting for my ADHD assessment.

It won't be long before I have my assessments @Albus_Scope , so if the outcome is that I have both autism and Adhd what does that class me has please? Sorry I'm just very curious. Sorry 😞

You'd be classed as whatever you want to be classed as. 😁
I just call ADHD and ASD combined "AuDHD" as it's easier to type and I'm lazy. 😆
Or you could just say "Neurodivergent" or just say you're you. 😊
