When I don't have bad acne, don't pick my face, I can look in the mirror and see a really pretty girl. Then when my acne is worse, when I pick my face and destroy my skin, I feel more ugly than my step mom... I have a bf that says he sees the girl in the mirror every single day, but I only see her on occasions. Is there anyone out there who wishes to always see her? To always look in the mirror and think that you are beautiful and have a pretty face and no one is staring at your scars?...

I feel the same. When my face isn't all cut up, or I cover it with makeup I feel pretty, I feel like myself. When I'm going through a bad bout of picking I see myself in the mirror and barely recognise myself, I don't look like me.
I've found that using an app which counts the days you don't pick helps. Set yourself small goals, like 1 full day w/out picking, then a few days, and then a week etc.
Hopefully I can practise what I preach and stop destroying my face.
