Well, I told my doctor about my picking a little while ago and she kept on insisiting that if I got rid of my acne then I would stop picking, and I kept on insisting that even if the acne was gone I would still pick, because I really don't have that bad acne, it only looks abck because of all the scabs! But, after a few more appointments we had some..."discussions", and she said she would get me appointments for a dermatologist (who will hopefully know more about this disorder then my incompetant doctor) and a psychiatrist. The dermitologist appointment is in July and I'm just hoping that they will be able to say somthing intelligent about the state of my skin. The Psychiatrist appointment is booked for August 17th and it's the one I really can't wait for, because it's basically a test to see if I really do have a psychological disorder or not, and I'm excited to find out if I do or not. The unfortunate part is that if I do then I'll have to work with my doctor to help myself out, and I really really hate my doctor. Oh well, I guess we'll find out in a few months, but for now I just have to make sure I don't pick around the stitches in my hand or the scratches on my knees that I got a week ago.

WOW - good for you. I have contemplated but have never had the courage to talk to a doc about my issues. Not only have you been courageous, you've stood your ground and have insisted on getting help. Only by doing so will you (eventually) get the help you need. Hope I have your kind of courage some day. Doing better with not picking, but on my own.
