sleep-picking?

[angelkiss]

i started my new no-picking strategy exactly two weeks ago and i am almost completely healed! i only have one sore left to heal and i'm doing much better.

the weird thing is that i wouldn't have that one sore if it wasn't for this weird thing that started happening...i sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and two times lately, as i was trying to fall back asleep, i unconsciously started clawing at my skin. i didn't realize i was doing it and there wasn't anything there to pick at to begin with. when i woke up the next morning, i was shocked to see what i had done to myself.

damn, i guess i have to start wearing gloves to bed! my willpower is strong except when i'm half-asleep!

I have always had the same problem.....kind of frustrating after doing so good while your awake, huh?!

Hey,
I've done that a few times too. But you know what...I dunno, I wouldn't really worry about it. To me, it doesn't seem like a big issue in the scheme of things. Like, I bet if I quit conscoius picking, the unconscious picking will go away on its own eventually.

I seem to do the same thing.. any suggestions on what to do? I'll either be a sleep or practically asleep and will head to the bathroom to attach my face. Has gloves helped?? Any information would help. Thanks!

I also pick during my sleep..I will remove the bandages and go to town. Wake up mad with blood all over my sheets..I can stop the picking while awake..any suggestion about what can be done at night???
