Powerlessness

[Secret]

I'm powerless over picking and my life has become unmanageable. I think this is easy for most of us to admit. I'm powerless over a lot of things in my life. I'm powerless over picking when I'm leaving my skin alone and I'm powerless over picking when I'm really letting in on my face. I have an obsession. I'm obsessed with my skin and picking, and I'm addicted to picking. I know some of you have expressed feeling possessed by a devil, right? Well, that's being powerless. My obsessive thoughts about my skin are at the center of my mind doing push ups. Once I start to pick I find it hard to stop. I can't just pop one zit, come on now.

I know this is kind of a late reply but 'powerlessness' is the best way to describe this. It's like once you start, your literally powerless over stopping it. Some days I just wish that I had skin that had never been picked at and that it would never even have occurred to me to pick at it in the first place. The worst though is trying to conceal it.
