So I didn’t realize that a few things I do is considered stimming. In fact I’ve done them as far back as I can remember and my mom would always tell me to stop and now my husband tells me to stop😅 there is a spot on my scalp that I believe was a mole that overtime I scratched off and now it’s just an area that I’m also scratching. I can do it for hours at time! If I get a scab anywhere on my body I will unconsciously scratch at it and then it takes weeks to heal if I can stop.
Is there a way to stop this? I do wear headbands to try to stop myself from scratching the spot on my scalp. I can go my work week without scratching at it then I have days off and I’m right back at it. I’ve also noticed I do it on my drive home from work frequently 😅
