...See more Hello, I just came across this site today because I guess I just kinda wanted to vent a bit about what is going on in my head. Basically I have been struggling with this issue of compulsive skin picking for years and I am so sick of it not getting any better. I went to see my doctor recently but he said that basically there was not much they could do apart from advise me to get councelling (which I am looking into at the moment.) Anyway now and again I have good days when I hardly pick at all but most of the time I just can't stop myself and today was a particularly bad day for it. No particular reason for it but once I found one bit to pick at I found more and more until I kind of satisfied the urge. Problem is it seems to be a catch 22 type of thing because I feel that if there wasn't spots etc there I wouldn't pick but chances are that if I didn't pick in the first place my skin wouldn't be so bad. Now I feel pretty down about the whole thing and hopeless like there is no hope of me being able to stop this problem. I feel like my skin (and myself) look a mess and I am so frustrated with it all, with not having the skin I want, with not being able to control myself etc that it just makes me feel pretty pathetic. I have read different books and tried so many skin care techniques but nothing seems to stick. I try tell myself after my good days that if I can not pick that one day then I can do it again but it doesn't work. Anyway thanks for giving me a place to vent these things.
