I have tried this site years ago to help me quit picking but I wasn’t able to stick to it long enough to quit. I have been picking since I was 11 years old. It has only gotten worse each year. I pick daily ranging from 15 mins to 1.5 hrs a day. Some times I go a day without doing it, but these are very rare. I just want to feel beautiful and confident and stop ruining my skin before it begins to scar…if it hasn’t began to already.
Today I decided in a desperate state, after picking at my face for about 1.5 hours, possibly more, throughout the day that it was time to do something drastic about this. So here I am, letting you see my ugly face. And hopefully when I am finally happy with my appearance I will stop blurring out my eyes.
Notes to self: You really could have, and should have stopped after picking for the first time earlier today. But you kept at it into the night. Because you felt hopeless and ugly once you started. Well, wake up! picking more didn’t make it better, it didn’t make you feel better! You feel terrible now and your skin feels raw and rubbery and like fire. And every time you begin to pick you seem to forgot how you feel afterwards. Well don’t forget, this feeling is not something you want to feel ever again. Isn’t that picture hard for you to look at, isn’t the mirror hard to look into you. This makes you want to hide away forever. 12 months ago
I pick at my face when i am anxious/stressed. With school and work, I am always under stress that makes me break out – but it’s never so bad; i make it bad myself by picking at little zits and making them big scabs. It really affects my entire confidence and unless I have a mask of makeup i feel sooo ugly. Even when i am wearing makeup i dont feel confident and feel ugly compared to girls that have perfect skin. i wonder why any guy would want me when my skin is so ugly, and today I realized I have to stop this horrible habit. I cut my nails short and am gonna stop looking at the mirror so often so i wont have the urge to pick at my skin. today’s the day i start looking better and gaining that much needed confidence! 18 months ago
I am tired of this. I feel motivated and good. I AM going to complete this goal soon. If I don’t pick for 8 weeks, I will consider it accomplished (because after 8 weeks I think the habit will be kicked)
yay!!
hmmm….8 weeks from today: July 11th!!! 2 years ago
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything but to be honest I’ve got worse not better. It’s going to take a while for the scabs to clear now so my goal now is to have a clear face by christmas I can do this 2 years ago

I don’t know why I’m doing this to myself and I don’t know how to stop I just don’t know what to do. I can’t think of any short term goals at the moment and Christmas still seems to far away. I’ll just have to keep thinking 2 years ago
That’s all I can say really 2 years ago
It’s been quite a while since my last post and it’s been quite a rollercoaster ride. I was doing very well and I even managed to get my passport photo taken which has been a goal of mine for a while. However once I had taken the photo I just went back to picking again and now I look a mess. Therefore I have decided to set myself a series of short term goals in order to try and stop picking once and for all. We’ll see… 2 years ago
So today has been a bit of a better day, I’ve had a couple of little picks but not as bad as usual. Still I can’t count it as day ne so tommorow will be day 1 mark 3. Hopefully tommorow will be a better day. X 2 years ago
So it’s the end of day1 and I was doing great until I brushed my teeth and ripped my face to shreds just in time for school tommorow. Well I supppose that makes tommorow day 1, mark 2. X 2 years ago
