new on the site, what now?
Posted June 27th, 2009 by chefchef47
I have always been in denial that my scab and skin picking problem was more than just a bad habit, it has come to a point where I don't even like to wear shorts out because people notice and people will say things to me and it is embarrassing. I (most of my scabs are on my legs from shaving or tiny pimples I pick apart and make worse and pick at again and again over time, some are on my arms b/c I work in a kitchen and get burnt occassionally) have been scab picking and skin picking for years (I am now 21), ever since I can remember as well as biting my nails. I always just thought it was a nervous habit but it has just seem to have gotten worse over time. I know I need to stop and I always say "this is the last time" and of course, it never is. So the other day for hahas I googled my "addiction" and came across this site and I am glad I found other people who are like me because honestly, I thought I was the only one. It's nice to be on here, so where do I go from here?

Hi
I am glad you found this site. I know how much of a relief it was for me when I found out I was not the only one : ) Keep writing and reading on this forum. My picking has lessened in frequency and intensity since I found this site. I tried to read and write here everyday. I also just started the online counseling they have available through this site so that is also an option for you as well.
