So quick to judge someone, you have obviously never been educated on mental disabilities, might not be their fault, it's like quitting smoking!

I am 13 years old and I have the same problem. Nobody knows because I have learned to hide it. It is like you don't even know you're doing it because it's the norm. For the first 11 years of my life I grew up in an abusive environment. When I got out and away with the abuse, of course I went to counseling but I guess it wasn't enought so I started picking at my head. After 6 months of picking I started eating. I see nothing wrong with it, now my boyfriend knows and he accepts it. I may need help but just not yet.

You're not a real woman! A real wife would really try to help and figure out what's wrong instead of bashing him

I have watched my mother do this for years. She will also rub the sweat on her skin and eat them. She picks the blears from her eyes and eats them also. It is disgustingand she is an embarrasement to have in public. When we try to talk to her about it she refuses to acknowledge that she does it and will start an argument ....... She also is a munipulator lies constantly and has a passive agressive personality. Diagnosis it please. I have watched it since I was old enough to notice how gross it is. We don't want her to touch anything in our homes and she will also sit in her own fecus and urine and tell you that she hasn't pooed or peed. Doctors are saying it is dementia . it's not it has been her way of being since I have known her. my whole life.

I am put into the category of Comobrid or Comorbidity meaning you live with more than one mental illness. I am hyperactive/inactive adhd Comobrid bipolar , anxiety , depression (which falls into bipolar) and my doctor and therapist is still doing other test to see what is going on. Because I went undiagnosed for so long biting my nails turned into me biting the skin around my nails until I bleed, picking scabs until I literally can't pull nothing off ... Let me tell how embarrassing and how I put myself down everyday for this habit that has been getting progressively worse. Something that I try real really hard to not.do everyday . Sometimes I don't realize I am evening harming my skin. I can promise you most people who do pick at scabs don't enjoy it. I sure don't enjoy seeing scars all over my body. I hate that I try so hard to control myself but fail. Yes it is gross but your husband most likely isn't able to just stop. It isn't that cut dry .

You are WAY TOO YOUNG to even be having a boyfriend at your age hun SMH Go focus on school and spending time with your friends and family and being a normal teenager and not focusing on boys they are not even worth your time. -_-

deal breaker over that? and you call yourself a strong woman?

42 and married for 2 years means you divorced (probably multiple times) or you were unable to. Both scenarios indicate to me that you're far from perfect.

If you consider him your husband, whom you supposedly professed to love, then actually love him and try to help him. Otherwise, keep floating around in life, looking for reasons to be a b***h to others while thinking you're somehow faultless.

You might not think that it's a disorder but it is. No it may not interfere with your life and how you function but it can be linked to other mental illnesses, not saying that it has to.

I didntt think that this guy was gross....but i did think that it's not healthy to have this habit. However I do have to say that this common I just read, is absolutely disgusting. I couldn't even look somebody in the face after I saw somebody do that. And poisoning your family? I feel so sorry for those poor people. If you get an infection of any kind now you're completely exposing them to that as well. I don't know how you can sleep at night!!!
I'm flabbergasted.
