For me, it's the first time my husband caught me picking my scalp verociously. I was so devasted. After that experience, I've been careful to do it ONLY in private, when he is not around.
I've begun to lie now, because if my husband asks how my scalp picking is doing, I say : "MUCH BETTER---- ALMOST GONE." But it's a lie, it`s NOT almost gone!
The only reason I can lie to him is because I have full & long hair, and I can cover my scabs so well. But if ever I had to shave my head for something (eg: Cancer Treatments) then I'd be caught, big time!
Txs for listening!

My most embarrassing moment,
About 2 months ago, I was ripped to shreds by my ex girlfriends new boyfriend. He said all sorts of stuff that embarrassed me to no end.
"You don't smile, your too thin, your face has all those fucking sores on it, and you just weren't cutting it man, sorry but shes my girl now and you need to stop calling her, okay"?
This was in front of all kinds of people at the mall...pretty hard to deal with.

Wow, sounds like your ex's new bf is a real winner. People can be such jerks. Don't let them break you down.

Wow, i can relate so well to all of these, i don't feel quite so alone now.
I don't think i have a specific really awful moment, but there are a few perticulars...
- My ex-boyfriend's little sister constantly used to come up to me and say "what's all over your face? it looks like dirt, i think you need to wash it. " and "you look really ugly with all those spots"...that really hurt.
-my face often bleeds when i have to hold my mouth wide open at dentist appointments. Luckily the dentist wipes it off and pretends she doesn't notice.
- my face will often bleed in the middle of my classes at school, when im picking and not really thinking about it. people always say, "oh my gosh your bleeeding!" so i go to the bathroom, only to realize there is a trail of blood running down my face.
- i'm late to go all kinds of places becasue while i'm trying to get ready in front of the mirror i can't help but pick. Not only do i look awful when i get wherever i'm going, but i have to make up lame excuses as to why i am so late all the time.

You are a bunch of disgusting animals. You peel the skin off your face and pretend to have a mental problem. You are all disgusting and should be treated like the sub-humans you are. If you are on this message board because you pick your skin, because you save the disgusting shit in jars, or you eat your disgusting skin, then you should kill yourself. Not like a pussy and just eat 6 Advil, no cry for help bullshit, I mean put a shotgun in your mouth and paint your bedroom wall red with your warpped brain splatterings. No one likes you. No one feels sorry for you picking your skin. You 'people' (term used very liberally) are lower then the flys that land on my dogs shit logs. You want support? Here it is... stop picking your disgusting face. Problem solved. You don't have mental problems. You don't have depression. You are just a bunch of sick fucks. I hope your homes burn down.

Wow man, you have issues.
So do you do this daily? You know, go to support boards and yell at people? Did you go to the eating disorder blog and call everyone fat? Then did you go to the rape survivor site and call everyone sluts?
Does that make you feel better about your life? You clearly have more issues than everyone on this board put together.
And do you really think that this isn't a disorder? Let me ask you, if it is really so easy to stop picking then why wouldn't we just stop? You think we like scarring ourselves? Do you think we like hurting ourselves physcially and emotionally? Like any addiction, we can't simply stop. I hope for your sake you never have to expierence an addiction... because I can already tell you wouldn't be able to handle it.
And for everyone on this board: There will always be people like this jerk who take pleasure in your pain. Don't listen to them. And please, for anyone who is depressed and having suicidal thoughts, remember that things will get better. You have to have faith in that. There were times in my life when I truly believed that I would be better off dead. But, I am SO glad I never followed through on those beliefs because I would have missed out on so much. Trust me, you will miss out on so much. We let this addiction destroy so much of our life, please don't let it kill you.

If I were you, I wouldn't even have taken the time to respond to this person's horrifying comments. Clearly, this person is miserable with life, someone needs to remove his/her comments from this site.
Obviously, this person has some serious issues with life, and hates themself for whatever reason, which is why they feel the need to put others down like this.
May this person come to realize the power of words, and how it might affect other people.
May God have mercy on this person on the Day of his/her Judgment.

Wow, that horrible comment made previously should be deleted....
I just recently came upon this message board and a couple other websites online - I thought I was a hopeless lost cause! I thought I was alone in this because I never heard anyone talk about struggling with this and I have never been able to find any support groups untill this last week when I came upon this by chance in a google search!
Anyway, one of my most embarressing moments is when I was visiting my sponsor at the time and having dinner with her and her husband. Her husband saw my arms and asked "What HAPPENED to your arms?" to which I timidly replied something about my cats(which of course was a lie). He then exclaimed "Well THATS good, because otherwise it looks like you were mauled by a bear!".
Needless to say she is no longer my sponser....

My most embarassing picking moment happened at my office. I had to stay late to catch up on work, and when I had to go to the bathroom, I got caught in a picking trance and totally destroyed my face (luckily there was noone around this late in the evening...). But as soon as I returned to my desk, my super-cute office neighbour (who is also my crush) just showed up and looked over the divider between our desks to say hi!!! I thought I would die of embarassment. He didn't say anything, but I'm pretty sure he knew.  |
