Breathe....You are ok right now. Everything is going to be ok just breathe!

You are not alone in this. I have for years picked at any little "imperfection" on my skin. It is a coping mechanism some of us learn. What you need to do is find something else to replace it. Try writing down the dreams, or drawing, or just talk to people here about them. Try to find some other way to bring down the anxiety they cause. I have dreams the bother me too. Right now I am fighting the urge to pick at my skin. I am trying to ignore the inner part of me that "sees" the imperfections. Instead I am trying to learn more about my life- the parts of my childhood I can't remember. Also I come here to read the posts.

Stay strong you will get beyond the dreams and the self-hurting.
