hello everyone!!!! i just wanted to share some positive news: i have a picking problem.....i pick my feet and fingers.....if it's not my feet it's my fingers and vice versa....well i bought silly putty yesterday.....so last night when i wanted ti pick i pulled out the silly putty and it worked!!!!!!!!!!! :) i still felt anxious and the urge to pick was there, but it DID go away!!!!! the motion of stretching the silly putty was like picking.....i recommend trying it for those of you who have problems picking....see if it works!!! have a great day!!!
i really ought to try that or get some clay.....
again, i am so glad it helped you!
That's so wonderful you've found something that helps you with the picking! And thank you for sharing this! This is a wonderful idea and I may try it myself, as I have trichotillomania (I pull out my hair). Thanks again for sharing...I love when people share t heir successes...it brings a lot of positivity to the forums!
