Argh!! i have started picking again (badly) after stopping for nearly a year. I am so disapointed with myself and dont know how to make it go away again. I dont know if my skin has got worse since coming off the pill and then i’ve started picking because there are spots to pick at, or whether its because i expected my skin to get worse after coming off the pill so i have made it bad myself?!!
I am trying the things i used to try (getting my family to take the mirror out of the bathroom, cleaning my face when i feel i’m going to pick) but none of it seems to work at all. My will power is completely shite, and i’m just worried that it’ll begin to take over my life again!! hellllllllllllp!!

How I did it: by taking the time to decide what i wanted to do. I didnt get influenced by anyone, just left it until i worked it out myself. I have now decided that once i finish my A levels i want to work at a nursery for a few years to gain an NVQ. after that me and my boyfriend are going to go travelling, then he'll go to uni (i might go) then he gets a job and i get a job then hopefully a year or two later we'll hear the pitter patter of tiny… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I cant say that i don't get days where i dont like myself but on the whole i am much happier with my body and personality. My boyfriend has been my main help as he has boosted my confidence immensely, i deffinately couldn't have done it without him! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I looked at life with a different perspective, when i felt down i tried to spin my thoughts around (basically accidental cognitive behaviour therapy!). I got out of a crappy relationship with someone who didnt respect me, and am now in the best realtionship ever with the best boyfriend!! I have managed to achieve goals which i never thought possible, I am a week away from finising my A-levels and am now happier than ever.. Its deffinately… Read how I did it…

The last two days ive some how managed to put on 6lb! Its really not good as now i feel like a big flabby thing and want to cover myself up in tent clothes:-( My confidence is completely on the floor,and i dont really know what to do! I havnt even been eating too much..maybe i have just with out realising it?? I want to try and lose about 2 stone in all, but at the moment it seems impossible!
This evening ive really pissed myself off with my picking. I’d been out most of the day,and had a friend over till 6 so i didnt really pick then. Then after he went, everytime i went into the bathroom, or walked past a mirror i completely attacked my face! its like ive hacked it apart, ive got a big open cut on one cheak which was healing nicely untill i picked it,and ive picked the whole of my face when there wasnt many noticeble spots but i just felt that i wanted to get all the bumps and crap out of my skin as it didnt belong there. Now im just sat with a face mask on to cover up all the evidence and so i dont pick when i pass a mirror. I know i’ll keep it on for hours,which im sure isnt good for skin either so will probably end up making it worse :-( Also i havnt been doing my star chart which i want to get back into doing but cant seem too..oh life seems crappy! okay,rant over!
