Does anyone have suggestions on what helps to cope or prevent this?

When I am stressed (I think), I pick my lips. I pick them to the point of bleeding and developing painful cracks.

I'm picking them a lot right now. I think it's the worst I've done and usually when I get to a certain point I stop, they heal and then it starts again.

I'm on zoloft to help with my anxiety and I know SSRI's can help with OCD.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
