sympathy

[Almoststopped]

:PI have had this problem for a few years now and I have just entered college, a time when many people realize their flaws. What really did it for me was living with people whowere my friends and who constantly surrounded me. I began to feel so ugly that I would hide in my room, which is really not like me at all. I didn't realize that this was a serious problem until I had anxiety attacks and had to be treated for those. What I found out was that my picking was a manifestation of my anxiety. Knowing this does not make it any easier to stop, but it has been a big step in helping me realize that I am mjost anxious at certain times of the day and that if I can just get through those times, I will be okay. I cant believe that some people have had this problems for decades, because I know that you are not really living when you are picking because you always want to hide. Anyways, when I started searching for info about picking on the internet, I realized that there were ways to stop. I have been working on it for a few weeks and my face has gotten much better, I am still avoiding going anywhere without concealer, but the problem is getting better. When I find myself falling off track, I simply visit websites about picking to remind myself of what I need to do to stop and to be happy. When you stop picking, you will realize that you are so beautiful and you will be able to accomplish all of your goals because you will not have this problem controlling your life. Cut your nails and do something to change your problem...it does get easier!
