Reddit mentions of Tangle Therapy for Hand and Mind Wellness

You may want to crosspost this to /r/CompulsiveSkinPicking or /r/calmhands - there's a lot of really helpful people in those groups.

But if you don't want to do that, my biggest suggestion is getting some fidget toys. These have helped me and a number of my friends who I've given them to who have skin or cuticle picking problems. My hands are really small so I actually prefer the Tangle Jr., however. Between using that and getting rid of the skin problems through advice from here, I've almost eliminated my CSP on my face (still have problems with my scalp, but Rome wasn't built in a day etc.)

I don't like onesies; I prefer the feeling of a waistband.

I'll second the Tangle and add Downbeats earplugs. Kinetic sand is cool. I can't find the one I have but sensory chews like this or this are great.

Use one hand to hold the book/turn pages and fiddle with something in your other hand, works wonders for those impulses to get up and do other stuff. I usually spin two juggling balls around in my hand, though whatever satisfies your fidgeting will work-Silly putty is good, and I know people who use Tangle Therapy toys and really like them.

If you pick when you're anxious I would strongly recommend a fidget toy, like tangle toys or the fidget cube.

I started using one of these and it helped me immensely because I could fidget with that instead of picking my nails.

They are pretty cheap so it's a great place to start even if it might not work for you

My kid is the same age with the same mental ability but she isn’t blind here are some things that she likes and I think can work when being blind

tangle , there are many versions that feels different.

Koosh balls , my kid has one on the zipper of her favorite hoodie.

Get a fidget toy! The medication does help with it for sure, but I also use one of these (Tangle Toy). It is quiet, you can do it under a desk, not distracting others, and it provides tactile stimulation.

Look around on Amazon they also have therapy putty and many other similar items.

oh god I had popping fests too, but luckily my face is clear so it wasn't bad there

but I have these little bumps on my arms and I'd spend hours picking, not realizing I was doing it

turns out, I have dermatillomania. I use a lot of fidget toys like this to keep my hands busy so I don't pick so much

THIS! This is great for playing with while watching a movie or studying or really anything where you have at least one hand free.

Have you considered picking up a hobby like knitting? /r/knitting has several stories of people using knitting to wean themselves off of other things to do with hands.

Alternately, carry around a hand puzzle thing.
