Dermatillomania Support Chat Room

Posted August 16th, 2012 by never-lose-hope
Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for quite some time and I noticed some people were asking about this site making a chat room for support. I went ahead and made one here: us7.chatzy.com/78035489600965 The password is: csp If anyone would like to discuss problems they are having trying to quit, or they know somebody who is hurting, please feel free to chat! Even if you are picking right this second and you want to talk to someone, come on by. :) I hope this chat room can help those who are feeling lost and confused. I have had csp for 7 years (I'm 20 now) and I am trying so hard to stop. I picked yesterday and now my jaw is covered in band-aids and I feel like hell. But I know my skin will heal in a week and I shouldn't worry about it so much. Take care, guys! xoxoxo Claire

I've been suffering from dermatillomaina for about 11 years. It's under control now but still a persistent problem. My body is covered in white "scab spots" that serve as a constant reminder of the scabs I used to cultivate on my skin. I still scratch my skin vigorously every day and create scabs and scars in places. Now I desire to help others who share my problem. Feel free to visit me at facebook.com/kev a delic. By the way, I tried to login to the chatroom you started but was unsuccessful :(
