I too am starting again today. This is my first time posting on here but I've been reading this forum for the last week now. I only pick at spots on my face. I don't tend to pick at something that isn't there but I definately make my spots worse. I hardly ever touch my black heads but I just have to squeeze and white heads. Unfortunately they almost always scab over because I can't leave them alone and I hate, HATE scabs on my face. Thats when I feel like a freak coz you can't cover them with make up! And then I keep repicking the scab off when I know I shouldn't - I don't know why I can't leave it alone!! I hadn't picked my recent scab for 3 whole days and I think it was healing but I picked last night and had blood on my pillow this morning which made me wake up early and feel very anxious. I felt very panicky and sick this morning because of what I'd done. If I had no spots at all I wouldn't pick at anything so I wish they'd go away! Anyway starting again today. Any words of advice?
Thanks for listening

i started again a few weeks ago but it had been over 3 months since the last time. i've been here before......that starting over time. the time frame in between keeps getting longer and longer so i keep trying knowing that eventually the time frame in between picking will be years. the only advice i can give is to never give up. it will get better and you have to believe. i think the biggest thing i've learned is not to beat myself up when i start picking again. i tell myself i made a mistake and its okay because i'm going to try harder this time. if i beat myself up because i messed up then i just keep picking and it gets worse and worse. i just found a great saying that i keep repeating to myself. i'll share it in the hope it helps someone else. hang on to your hope....it will get better!
