Vent: I think I caused an infection and feel disgusted with myself
I often find myself picking at the dead skin on my feet uncontrollably, to the point where I try to go to sleep but my urge to pick it off is too strong and keeps me up. I have recently removed some sensitive skin under the arch of my foot (I now have both feet bandaged also to help resist the urge) but now that area is dark red, itchy and warm to the touch. I am disgusted with myself and ashamed. I almost hope it’s infected because I feel like I deserve it. I hate this disease
