    • About Me

      I am a compulsive skin picker. I used to be very suicidal and cut myself with razor blades. I have bipolar II and generalized anxiety disorder. I am doing very well now with my life. My behaviors are tearing my cuticles, biting the insides of my cheeks, peeling the skin off my lips, and others. I've been in a 12-step support group for ages for this. Got most of it beat by now. I am an artist, a singer, a writer, a poet. I play piano a little. I am an animal lover and vegetarian. And I came from a dysfunctional household. Thank God that's years behind me now, but the damage is still there. Today I have a close connection with God and I know He is helping me. I am a Christian and God answers my prayers. If you want me to pray for you, I will.
