How to stop picking my skin by sharkgreatwhite

"I had several serious attempts over the past few years, but I didn't give up. Even now I have my days, but I am SO PROUD I gave up this habit! Have faith and be determined and you can do it!"

How I did it: I followed the website recommended and it helped, I put up motivational posters and it helped, I told a dermatologist and got medication, I washed my face twice a day.  But really, it came down to not giving up.  I know I have days when I'll fall back, and I just kept at it until I slowly stopped.

Lessons & tips: Keep trying.  Different things, different tricks, techniques.  Tell people!  Friends are supports!

I'm happy to hear of your success

Hi!

I’m happy to hear of your success to stop.
It’s very hard for most of us to do so.

Here’s a new way to make stopping easier :
use online counselor for skin picking!

Anxiety

My shrink tells me this is often an overlooked sign of depression and anxiety…I think maybe your support system and determination may have helped more than just your looks!
