Friendly reminder that BFRBs (Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours) are 1000% a thing that is common amongst ADHDers.
May 9, 2025 19:02If you pick, scratch, peel or pull, you're not alone. Part of it may have to do with dopamine (some studies suggest we get a lil' brain boost from resolving a skin/hair thing), or latent hyperactivity that needs to come out...coupled with impulsivity.
If you struggle with this, ADHD coaching CAN help, and plenty of other neurodivergent folks have got good solutions/hacks for this too!
Do you have a good hack for NOT picking, poking, pulling, squeezing or scratching? Please tell me in the comments!
