TRVA123:
I do this all of the time, it looks like Hanners might have skin picking disorder.
I have a mild case, if there is anything on my skin, scab, wart, pimple, etc... I will scratch at it and try to remove it. This isn't always a conscious thing, it's like running your hand over your body and scratching at any irregularities that you find.
This kind of behavior makes perfect sense with Hanners other compulsions.
Near Lurker:
The thing is that in the third panel, it looks very much like her finger is inside her skin, which makes me think that she cut herself in bed. Or there's something wrong with her skin, but this would be a weird way to introduce that.
chaospersonified:
Familiar with this kinda shit, though that's only because of weeks in the wilderness, specifically four each year, six years in a row.
Unfortunately, my response to each of these was to man up, so I am unfamiliar with what might be causing this, especially since Hanners is NOT a staff member at a boy scout camp in the depths of a hardcore, humid-as-fuck Louisiana summertime.
chaospersonified:
In any case, this leads me to suspect that we won't get any Faye-resolution this week, unless Dora and Faye show up at the same time to wish Hanners well, WHICH SHOULD, FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK, HAPPEN!
TRVA123:
No, she scratched at something on her skin until it began to bleed, then she looked at it and discovered that it was a mole, or something. (Omg CANCER!!)
This is thought to be an ocd/anxiety related disorder. It is relatively common, and only is classified as a disorder for people who scratch at their skin excessively. It isn't something that has a specific cause (although picking at skin can increase when the person is stressed.) Its not a case of "I moved to Louisiana and now I have skin picking disease".
I do this all of the time. I have learned how to stop myself from seriously damage my skin, but I struggle with scratching/picking/worrying at imperfections on my skin all of the time. It looks like Hanners (and maybe, by extension Jeph) might be similar.
