Keep on doing the next right thing and try other ways to channel the impulse to touch & scratch. Might be a guided meditation, a quick walk, a weird happy dance …
I’m sorry your problem had been downplayed. What you describe is a special form of self-harm and an unhealthy behaviour and you deserve kindness and support

yesss.
the positive part is that in the past I smoked and drank a lot. so it was super hard to fight against the downplaying of smoking and drinkibg.
this is why I understand that downplaying can motivate me. it fuels me.
but of course I am happy for people like you. I really appreciate your empathy

It is good that you are aware of what you’re doing and that you want to change it. Here is a good article that may be talking about what you are doing. I think that being on the site and talking about it should be helpful for you and also setting up a counter if that’s what you want to do.
