I feel lame...
I've been trying to stop picking my skin for this past school year. I've been doing it for years but hadn't noticed that it was really a problem until now and it's gotten pretty bad. It just upsets me so much because it's an unnecessary stresser in my life THATS CAUSED BY STRESS! Well also by activities such as reading, doing homework, watching tv, or just laying in bed. I even do it in public, in class is the worst because I'm in the middle of a lecture class when I realize that I just missed the whole lecture because I washed zoned out on my shoulder pinching, scratching, and clawing the living hell out of it...Then the welts and scabs after are horrible because then they're a new target for me to pick at too. I have so many scars on my chest, back, shoulders, and face now and its ridiculous. I'm 20 years old for christ sake! I shouldn't be embarrassed about my skin! The sad thing is I take care of it well, but any little blemish (it doesn't even have to be a blemish) i'll pick at and next thing I know everywhere is blotchy and red. So hopefully this helps me.
