: MediaTakeOut.com got its hands on some disturbing pics of Amy Winehouse. Hope you're not eating...
I am in no way saying it ok to abuse narcotics but I am saying that we didn't see her burn herself with an alleged pipe. and for that matter niether did MTO. I am hoping that she seeks the peoper help because she is a damn good artist and i have a respect for her musical style. Miss Winehouse is definitely one of the best!
That's from her trying to hurt herself. It's called dermatillomania:
Dermatillomania (also known as compulsive skin picking or CSP) is an obsessive compulsive disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pick at one's own skin, often to the extent that damage is caused.
Disfiguration of the distal and proximal joints of the middle and little fingers.Sufferers of dermatillomania find skin picking to be stress relieving or gratifying rather than painful.
Episodes of skin picking are often preceded or accompanied by moments of tension, anxiety, stress, or paranoia. During these moments, there is commonly a compulsive urge to pick, bite, itch, or scratch at a surface or region of the body.
The regions most commonly affected by this are the face, back, scalp, chest and extremities such as the hands, feet, and arms. Symptoms most commonly expressed in these areas are swelling, scarring, and callusing due to damage to the affected region's epidermis.
In the face of these symptoms, most sufferers feel and recognize a need to stop the process but are physically and mentally unable without aid. Additionally, the development of said symptoms is very similar to the expression of trichotillomania, or the compulsive pulling of hair from the body.
Often dermatillomania sufferers find that their disorder intereferes with daily life. Plagued by shame, embarrassment, and humiliation, they will take measures to hide their disorder by not leaving the home, wearing long sleeves and pants in summer, and heavy make-up use for coverage.
i can't believe they are exalting this damn woman! she is HORRIBLE! what kind of role model are they trying to portray her to be but when we give props to our african-american brothas in hip hop nerds like Bill O'Reilly gotta shut 'em down and call Amy Whinehouse's music "inspiring" yea the hell RIGHT!
