"I rip the skin off of my hands.
It started out with ms just biting my nails whenever I was nervous. Then whenever I was bored. It got to the point where my mum would make me paint my nails so I wouldn't bite them. Because my nails tasted like nail polish (awful taste by the way) I started ripping the dry skin around my nails off. Then I was ripping off the cuticles. Then the skin along my whole finger as far as it would rip. No one knows and I wear bandages on My hands during school. I always had them on my hands. Everyone asked what I did and I'd just say that I didn't wanna talk about it. One time, a teacher told me to take them off because she refused to believe that there was anything wrong with them. I had to take them off in front of the whole class. One thing that has always stuck with me was the reaction of the kids in my class when they saw my hands. I loved it. I don't wear the bandages anymore because their reactions are just so perfect. I know I'm messed up. I don't see anyone about it but I know that I have some serious psychological issues."
