Sarah Redzikowski candidly shared her ongoing battle with dermatillomania on TikTok, revealing the deep emotional distress and time lost to her skin-picking habit. Since age 12, she's compulsively picked at her skin, resulting in bleeding and scars. Despite her desire to stop, Redzikowski feels trapped in this behavior, spending significant time attempting to heal the damage. She expresses both frustration and self-blame while also acknowledging that her actions are not entirely within her control, highlighting the shame often felt by those with body-focused repetitive behaviors.
I've spent at least 125 days of my life bent over a mirror, and that's 125 days I'll never get back.
It's an internal battle, because I do know it's not my fault, and I'm not wanting to do this, she said. But it is my hand.
