i didnt write in here much last week. i had a semi bad breakout. one big zit on my chin and on my cheek. they are healing now. i didnt pick at them much. yesterday at work the one on my cheek was soooooooooo begging me to pop it but i knew that if i popped it at work it would be noticeable so i held out until after work. a lady i work with told me that i had beautiful skin and it surprised me. i immediately told her that it wasnt... didtn mention the picking.. just told her i had bad problems when i was little. i spent too much time in the sun so i had bad sun spots and when i was walking home from school once i fell and it made one whole side of my face a giant scab. the skin hasnt been right since. but she told me she had no idea that i wore makeup.... which is a good sign that it isnt that noticable.
i switched my coverup. i was using this cream to powder liquid stuff all over my face. i was in the makeup section the other and got some physicians formula makeup. i got the green cover stick to go over my red spots and the magic cube concealer in light. i love it! its a perfect match to my skin and i can use it whenever i want. its so tiny and has a little mirror in it so i dont really have a chance to examine my skin while putting it on. now that i found this ill never use any other kind of cover up. i dont even have to put it everywhere!
i had a horrible day at work. i threw something away that i shouldnt have and my fucking asshole boss made me get the garbage bad out of the dumpster that was taller than my head and go through it until i found what i was looking for. a girl helped me get into the dumpster otherwise it would have come out of my check. and i knew i was supposed to get off at 6:30 so when i mentioned that to a different manager lady she was like "nope your not off until 6:45"... i totally knew that wasnt right but i figured working 15 more mintues wouldnt hurt. well 6:45 rolled around and i heard nothing... so finally a guy asked the manager lady if i should go... she was like " well i told her to go at 6:45" but it was all staticy on the walkie talkies so nobody heard her tell me... but she still acted like a bitch about it anyways.... i practically left in tears but managed to hold them back until i got out of the door....
sorry i really needed a place to vent. thanks.

Hi msp8
I am sorry to hear about your boss and that mean manager lady. Try to remind yourself that people who behave so nasty usually are really unhappy and dissatisfied with themselves and their lifes in general. But the only way they know to handle it is to take it out on others. Do not let them get you down.
Sending you some positive thoughts
hoppe

jonathan~ i think the bacitracin should work just as good as neosporin... thats the stuff i was advised to get when i got my tatoo... cus i guess it heals stuff quickly.
i went home to my moms saturday night.... i just got back.... i realized that i mostly pick when im there because i can get ultra close to the mirror. but as soon as i got home my mom told me that my skin looked great... which is odd because she is always finding something wrong with me to point out. i told her how i dont pick anymore.. she told me to tell my sister about this website because she has been picking alot lately. so i told her but she didnt say much about it. i reminded her about it later and still no response... so i think ill just e-mail her a link to this... but maybe not because i dont think i want her to read all the stuff that i write on here. oh well... i just told her she shouldnt pick, use cetaphil and neutragena multi vitamin lotion.... its been doing my justice.

i broke out yesterday... i think its just cus ill be getting my period soon..... i realized this month that this is really the only time that i get noticeable zits....
i had to work all day today and i knew this zit under my zit was soo red and sooo ready to be popped.... i kept trying to put my hair in my face so noone would see it... real obvious.. oh well. i dont have to work tomorrow so i have a day to heal since i picked at when i got home. i also had a big scab on my cheek from a zit that had to be picked yesterday.... i sooo hope that itll be gone by tomorrow. in fact im going to stop writng and go put some neosporin on it now to speed the healing hopefully....

well those zits that i was getting from my period are going away now.... i tried not to pick... but when you wake up with a whitehead and you have to go to work in a few hours how else are you supposed to get rid of it?
i havent been picking like i used to at all. since i have started posting on this site i dont think i have had any extremely bad pickng sessions. i know none of them have lasted more than 30 minutes. my skin is looking so much better. i think it was just being able to write about my skin problems that helped me. im more aware of when im picking and what i am doing to myself. i dont want to have to write in here that i picked for a long time so i just havent been doing it. i am soo happy i found this site.

hey... i havent written in here for a while. my skin is looking good. i did pick yesterday though. ive been getting a lot of zits along my hairline that for some reason i think i can pick at because they arent very visible. but i guess that means im still picking.
im going to my sisters house this weekend... its about 2 hours away. im afraid ill be broken out by the time i leave on sunday. thats always what happens whenever i go somewhere for the weekend. i dont do anything differently but it always happens. well i guess ill find out on sunday.

i havent written in here much lately... i think just finding out that i really had a problem wsa what cured me. i never have picking "sessions" anymore. whenever i examine my face i just know that what i am doing is wrong. i do pick the occasional zit but now that im not creating any big problems there isnt much to pick at.
before i always had something to pick at.... mostly because id make something to pick at by trying to get rid of those tiny bumps on my forehead. now i realize im probably the only one who sees those tiny bumps so there is no need to try to get rid of them.
i have now been using my neutrogen multi vitamin lotion for 7 weeks and i love it. like i have said before it says on the box that by the 8th week the redness from scars will start to disappear. there really isnt any redness on my face. when i first started using it my chin was so bad i was sure i was always going to have scars on it. now you can hardly tell there was anything there. i have used that lotion in the past but i guess i never used it long enough to let it start working.
before coming to this site i never stuck to any sort of ritual when it came to caring for my skin. sometimes i would even go to bed without washing my face. i never thought i was the type of person that sticks to something. whenever i saw commercials for face wash i would want to try them. i was never sticking to one thing which probably caused more trouble for my skin. im so happy that i was able to fix this problem.
my skin was such a problem for me. i was always worrying and thinking about what other people thought of me. now whenever i see someone who looks like they have been picking their face i want to tell them about this website... i know they would probably take offense to that so i just keep my mouth shut... but i think that this site could help tons of people.
well anyways... i know my skin is probably never going to be perfect... im still going to get zits, but now i know that i can keep them under control......

the other day i was at work and this girl i work with (who is obviously a picker) was at the register right next to mine. she must have picked at something on her cheek... i looked over at her to ask a question and there was a tiny dot of blood. i didnt say anything because we were both with customers. then i looked over again and the blood was starting to run down her cheek. i didnt know what to say to her.... i obviously knew what was on her cheek but i couldnt say "you've got something on your cheek" cus that would have embarrassed her. and i didnt just want to tell her she had blood on her face cus that too would have been embarrassing. and i know everyone that she checked out had to notice it.. i mean it was blood on her face. she must have felt something on her face because the next time i looked at her it was smeared. after the lines had died down she realized that she did indeed have something on her face and was trying to wipe it off... but it had been on there so long that some of it was dried to her cheek. i felt horrible becuase she was probably wondering why i didnt tell her... but i dont know her that well and i dont know how i would feel if someone had told me that. i just wanted to tell her that i understood... but that could have been offensive.
i just dont know what was the right thing to do in this situation. i hope she wasnt too embarrassed about it.

grrr i hate this time of month.... my face always seems to make soo much progress... then right when its almost all clear i break out because of my period. this is really making me look forward to menopause!
my face looked horrible at work today. when i woke up i had to whiteheads... one of my cheakbone and the other on my chin (go figure). anyways i had to pop them or else it would have been 10 times more gross.
i need to go get more magic cube when i get paid on wednesday.... i also want to get some thing to dry up my zits.... any suggestions would be much appreciated.
