Broken & struggling

Hey all, My anxiety level is so bad every time I think of work or being out around people in public. It’s so bad that I scratch my skin off until the point it bleeds and scabs. Then I scratch some more. I have so many scars. Sometimes I scratch and I don’t know why. Does anybody else have this physical part of anxiety? If so how do you distract yourself?

I don’t have that issue but when I was trying to stop scratching at acne because it was scarring I heard that you should put tape around your nails. Definitely keep them short so you do less damage but since you have a conscious desire to stop if you feel the tape it will remind you to stop
