Comments: I can't believe there are so many people with the same thing that I have been wrestling with for the past 10 years! I thought I was out of my mind - a total weirdo who had somehow strayed beyond the bounds of normality into some obscure world where only me and a mirror existed!! It is such a relief to know that i'm not alone - although knowing how much of a nightmare it is to live like this, I wouldn't wish it on my worst pimple free enemy. I have shared almost all of the experiences listed on this site - staying up for most of the night while everyone else is nice and warm in bed oblivious to the fact that there is a kook in the batroom with her face pressed so close up to the mirror that she's crosseyed!
The terror that someone might wan't to use the toilet which results in you trying to exit the bathroom looking as normal as you can whilst facing the other way with all your hair brushed across your face! And not to mention the application of various self made concoctions that have no business being anywhere near human skin - it's a miracle I haven't poisoned myself. When I think about everything I've done and how many hours I've wasted picking at my face and body, how many times I could have given myself septicemia from poking pins in myself, and how much
I've missed out on because I'd rather put my spots before enjoying my life, it makes me want scream at myself "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU COMPLETE MORON!!" Of course I know from plenty of experience that I can shout at myself until I'm blue in the face but I still magically appear before the mirror telling myself that I'll just squeeze this one spot - gently. Yeah right - as gently as I squeezed the last million! BUT, after finding this sight I reckon we can stop. Come on, if we didn't want to stop we wouldn't be looking for sites like this in the first place! We need to stop kidding ourselves that it's out of our control because we all know it's not. Everyone here knows that familiar feeling that you have when you know your going to pick but you let yourself do it anyway because it makes you feel better to lose yourself in the picking rather than deal with reality. But deep down we all want the reality - we want the life that so called 'normal' people have got. We wan't to go to bed at a reasonable time instead of holing ourselves up in a freezing cold bathroom. We want to be able to get up in the morning and start the day without having to looking in the mirror and hating ourselves or spending two hours applying thick make-up that just makes us feel worse. And deep down we know that the only thing stopping us is ourselves. The simple act of putting our hands to our faces and bodies is ruining our lives. I don't know about you but my biggest fear is reaching old age and looking back only to see a wasted life spent worrying about my spots. I'm determined to stop this before it's too late and hopefully you can do it with me. Underneath all this crap we're normal people who just got a bit lost. But I think that by knowing that were not alone and trying really hard to see the bigger picture we can end this today. So from today on, my life is my own again - WHO'S WITH ME? xx

Comments: Thank God for the Internet. Unlike most of the people here who are older and in their 20s/30s/40s/etc. I am only 13. I recall picking ever since 5th grade, so i was about 9. I have noticed that we have gotten into this becasue of someone else influencing us. It was my sister for me. She was and still is very open about her skin picking. I remember watching her sit on the bathroom counter popping her pimples. Watching her do this constantly made me grow up thinking that this was a normal thing that everyone did. She also used to pull out chunks of her hair as a child. Needless to say our homelife wasn't very pleasant. I have great skin. I hardly EVER get pimples but having all that pus deep down in my pores makes me feel dirty and I feel like I need to get it all out because it will "eventually be a pimple" and I don't want that. My mouth was literally hanging open when I read some of the things on this guestbook and website. I could relate to them SO well. I've sat on the bathroom counter and got as close as I could to make sure that I have scanned ever single pore of my face to make sure that nothing was there. I have sat there so long that my leg/foot has fallen asleep. I have felt that horrible feeling when your picking and your face is completely obliterated and somebody knocks on the doors. i have felt all of that. In fact to avode the knocking-on-the-door-while-picking-the-face situation I would just do all the picking at night. Staying up all night while I should be in bed. Getting only a couple hours of sleep. Right after one of my picking sessions I would always wash my face as if it would take all the red away. Then I would apply concealor to take away the uglyness of my post picked face. I really wanted to stop but I would just go do something simple like go to the mirror to pluck my eyebrows and then I would notice a pimple and I would start. ONe after another, after another. It was the vicious cycle I couldn't stop.

My face is normal right now because I have stopped. I'll tell you how I did it. Well I have INCREDIBLY bad eye sight and I used to wear glasses and when I would take off those glasses I would see every imperfection on my face. Now I have contacts and with my contacts you can't see ANY of those completely meaningless "imperfections" on my face. The thing is that they AREN'T imperfections. They are only seen by our eyes and in our heads it's saying that you have to "fix" these "imperfections." Here's other things that have worked for me:
-contacts! It only works for the people with bad eyesight and after the contacts you can't see anything super, super close. Make sure you wear them all day and take them off right before bed. That way you won't be tempted to start picking.
-a special event. I started High school last monday and I wanted to look my best and it really stopped me from wanting to do it. This doesn't always work though because sometimes for me when I was going to go somewhere like with my friends or some other place I would want to pick because I wanted to look my best and have no pimples and you guys know what happens when you go into pop that one pimple...
-a guy/girl. I know it sounds sappy but if you like someone just think about them while your picking. If you really like them then you'll stop because you'll want to look your vest for them and your concious will come in saying that this isn't going to help, and that it's just going to make everything worse.
-Just think about what's going to happen to your face in the long run. If I wanted to I could stay in the spot in my bathroom and pop every single pimple until there was nothing left but then I would think about how ugly it makes my face and that is what eventually made me stop and hour or so later. I also think about how I have to get up a little earlier to put on all the concealor and powder to cover everything up and how much a pain that is.
-think about this website. Well, I haven't tried this yet but I think that it'll work. I know that I don't have the worse case of dermatillomania here because the a couple of these people do some WAY worse things that I do and I hear them talking about how they have been doing it for 20+ years. I have only been doing it for 4 and I don't plan on doing it longer. This website has really helped because now that I actually know that this isn't just me doing it I have a new sort of confidence in me that is going to fight against urges to pop/pick now. This is something that I might tell somebody else now that I know that I'm not alone. I'll probably inform my sister about it because she suffers from the same thing. I should actually tell my therapist also. This website had been the biggest help ever. THANK YOU! Stay strong everybody!!
