Skin Pickibg

I now pick my skin so much that I do not realize it. You are not alone in this! They suggested me to buy a fidgeting toy to avoid doing it and to use the toy every time I feel the urge to pick my skin

I am right here with you. I started this month with a chart, and I mark off every day I don’t pick my face or skin. But it’s so hard. If I see a bump, I’m obviously going to want to pop it. So far, I’ve only had 1 day without picking. It’s crazy how just minutes in front of the mirror ruins my face for weeks after, or a little pick causes a bloody scab. The guilt and shame sets in. Just letting you know, I’m right here with you :( I’m trying to cover up my mirrors, and ONLY allowing myself to touch my face right after I wash it. I’ve tried buying picking pads, to pick at instead of my skin. Lately, when I feel that urge to pick at something, I instead take out a piece of paper and just start scribbling on it. Hardcore scribbling. It sounds silly, but just moving my hand around the paper with a pen releases something that makes the urge to pick less urgent. But man, I feel alone too and embarrassed.
