Someone to talk to

Hello there :) First of all, I'm incredibly glad that I've found this website, where there are a lot of people who suffer from dermatillomania like me. It's especially great for me because I don't like to talk about this issue with my friends and family. I pick my fingers and lips and eat the scabs from them. I've told my friends about this before, but often time resulting in more stress, anxiety and guilt because they thought I just wanted to gain more attention and this skin-picking was just a silly habit.My mother also keeps on scolding me from time to time saying I don't have self-control and I don't know how to take care of myself in spite of being 15 already. In other words, this is not a serious matter to them. Therefore, I think telling other people is a really bad idea, as nobody understands how frustrating this is for me. And it's been 7 years since my skin-picking starts and my mother had brought me to the doctor. He gave me some advantan ointment which I applied on my fingers for a lot of years. It's obviously not working 'cause that cream is for treating eczema. Until recently,I've already stopped applying that cream. Right now, I'm extremely worried about my academic results and friendship problems. Hence, my fingers and lips are getting worse and worse. They are making me crazy. I desperately want someone to talk to… but i don't have one. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this… :) I'd really appreciate it if you can leave a message behind.
