Hi... I've been lurking around here for a few years. Sometimes I read, sometimes I post, sometimes I look for answers. I've had a problem picking for 15 years. I've lost friends, jobs, and self-esteem because of it, because of my "hiding" and refusing to go out... if you've picked like I do, then you know what I mean. I always wondered about why I picked, why I had acne, why I was depressed. I got so low that I started having suicidal thoughts. I decided to go to a counsellor that a friend of mine recommended and I'm writing today to tell you that it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. I'm sure everyone's issues are different, so I won't go into revelations here, but I want you to know that no matter how low you go... you can come out of it, you can feel hope again. Please surround yourself with friends who you trust and don't edit who you are around them.... it will be a start... it will be a beginning.
