Don't make goals that are so far off in the future...do daily goals...that way you aren't setting yourself up for disappointment.
Will email you!

i agree with glamour... i have been reading your posts and thouhg i have not yet responded i have heard every word you've said... and in them I find an extremely level headed person who is strong but overwhelmed with life's baggage... i admire your bravery in trying to go a month with out picking, but dont you look at that date and feel just a tad bit pensive and overwhelemed? I myself am 18 yrs old... my picking was the absolutely worst between the ages of 10-14... it is still bad... no doubt.. it has just migrated to a different location... anyway, i have no had a sinlge DAY without picking... realize that if you can go that long that you have succeeded... that you are strong... I hate what I do to myself and wish desperately i could wear a tank top... just once... in public... the whole board is rallying for you and your fordguy45 is an amazing friend... i recently told my best friend and was shot down with an "uh, hope you feel better"... end of story.. I too do not trust MD's 4 I have been taken advantage of in the past... but the realization has come to me that i cant do this by myself even with the support of the board...fortunately you have a physical form of support... me... i live and hope through these posts hoping one day i can muster enough courage to seek professional help. hang in there incubabe... you're succeeding more than you realize... you feel better mentally? you discontinued cutting? these are accomplishments to be celebrated... csp WILL have relapses just as the smoker and the drinker do ... we are addicted.. but we will beat it, and i hope for you that you do... i dont know how bad your scars are but 365 days x 9 years.of picking... my back will never be worhty of being seen... my damage i have been told requires plastic surgery to repair...  anyway all this yap,my points 1.) dont overwhelm yourself 2.) recognize your success rather than your failures... it is much harder to succeed than it is to fail.. |

Thanks so much! Im going on my 3rd day without it. Im hoping that with some topical meds I can diminish some of the scars...without having anything medically done. Its bad but my skin repairs itself really well in most cases. Lets hope! LOL.
