yesterday was ZT too! I now have three days in a row which hasn't happened for a very very long time!
I still feel so depressed on looking at my face before I've done my make-up - it is such a mess! But I do know that the scars will fade cos I've got tonnes that already have! I just need to be patient and pray that I can keep my hands off for long enough to do no more damage.
I feel as though if I can leave my face for long enough to prove that it will actually stay clear (i.e. not get spots) without me picking, then that will really help. At the moment as soon as I see a clogged pore I panic and think I have to squeeze it otherwise it will be there forever. But I know in my mind that that is not true, I just need to prove to myself that it will be ok, I don't need to squeeze it - and if I can do this for a decent length of time, like for a month or something, then I should be able to believe myself and control my anxiety better whenever I see something I want to squeeze.
Did any of that make sense? I don't think I explained it very well!
ok, so I'm not quite as nervous today as I was yesterday! Maybe that's cos I didn't sleep well at all last night and am very tired now (I haven't the energy to be worried and nervous!) And I just need to concentrate on my college work - critiquing research papers (YUK!)

Sioned, Glad you're doing so well. I think it makes sense that the longer you abstain from picking, the better your skin looks and therefore it should give you more of a reason to keep it that way... as long as you don't start actively looking for clogged pores and such, which is what usually gets me when my skin is almost healed. And obviously it helps to not be anxious or nervous, either.  I hope you manage to stay relaxed for a while so you won't have any triggers to pick. And good luck with your essay. Wishing you lots more pick-free days (hopefully an infinite number  , Nelly |
