hey you lovely people. a few days ago i found something that has really helped with my picking. i was doing really good for a long time but i've had a recent downfall due to TONS of emotional stress! so i was driving myself nuts because i have been living with my parents for a month- for the first time since my 18th birthday (!) and i got really depressed and regressing back to my early-teenage habits such as *picking constantly*! of course! and this house is FULL of well-lit mirrors. its like a death trap. so i got so fed up and i got this enormous roll of this mesh-like material (i totally just forgot what its called but its exactly the kind of stuff you would make a tutu out of- you know the stiff poofy meshy sheery stuff) and its this dark mermaid blue-green -really pretty and i wrapped it across my main pick-mirror. its actually a big medicine cabinet in my bathroom and i bunched up the material so i can barely see through it and strapped it horizontally- taping it behind the side doors. it actually looks kinda cool. and then i hung it like a curtain over my two full-length mirrors (those were killers too). so the effect is that in my main pick-mirror, i can only see myself well enough to tell i dont have half my lunch on my face and in my full length mirrors i can still try on clothes and see what they look like but i cant hardley see a blemish on my face at all. i look good through this stuff and i cant pick when its there. no more impulse picking that happens before i can stop myself because i cant see it! but at the same time the sheer is great because i can even see to put makeup on (yes ive regressed back to wearing makeup to all you who heard me braggging about my makeup-free summer). but i hope this helps you all. im ready to get back to my clear skin and i will. im wordlessly excited about ZT .
all my love, rabbitmoon.
