New member here. So glad I'm not alone.

Hi, I'm a new member. My name is Samantha. I came upon this website last night when I was googling information on Dermatillomania. I'm a self diagnosed Dermatillomaniac. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone. Because that makes everything worse. When you want to talk to someone so badly and want to know that they're not looking at you like you're gross or you're a freak. Hopefully I can blog about my picking and get some advice and perhaps some kind of treatment will be available to me. I've been picking for almost 5 years (I'll be 19 this November). It's interfering with my life and relationship, has given me a staph infection, and has seriously broken down my self esteem, self worth, and confidence.
