Dermatillomania (Compulsive Skin Picking) – Stuart

Hey, my name is Stuart Navy. I have been a compulsive skin picker for as long as I can remember but I didn’t really know it was a form of OCD until a few years ago. I’ve tried Prozac for it but it only makes it worse. It has helped my depression though, but not my CSP. Lately I’ve been more stressed out than ever. I don’t have health insurance or money to pay out of pocket for help but I am working with my local county health services. I see a therapist at my college but he can’t prescribe me anything. I made this video for a few reasons. 1. Because I was watching some of my friend’s videos about his eating disorders and it made me think up to look up my own disorder on here. If you would like to see his videos about his ED’s and his battle to recover please check him out www.youtube.com Please be respectful to him. It takes more courage than I can ever imagine for him to put himself out on the web like he does. 2. Sam88gurl. I saw your videos last night and though OMG I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL!!!!! It pains me to see you in such despair but I wanted you to know that I am here. If you want to talk via email, Facebook or even on here, please send me a message!!!! 3. There’s not a whole lot of you on here but I know there’s got to be more of you! Shoot me a message if you wanna talk. I’m here. I should probably give you all a little more background information. I’m really shy so that’s why I didn’t talk very much and I probably won’t make another video unless I’m asked …
