Is anyone available to be an accountability partner!!!!!!!! or online support person??

Hello SkinPick.com world: I'm 37 and still picking, which I feel terrible about. I really need accountability and support b/c I have permanent scars on my face & legs & that still doesn't motivate me to stop. I'm on anti-anxiety/depression/adhd meds and am have a personal relationship with Jesus and supportive friends. But I am still picking and DESTROYING my face. Maybe talking to others who have similar issues will help??? I hate it. Just reaching out to connect w/ others and FINALLY kick this destructive habit that I KNOW has nothing to do w/ acne. xo thank you in advance!!!! PS I promise to support you back. I've been in anonymous groups before & would never break confidentiality. Truly! :)

I need support too. I am 24 and have been picking since I was 4 years old. No one helped me even though they saw me doing it. I hate it, and I know the best way to stop is to share. We're only as dark as our secrets. Lets talk

Yes me too I'm so fed up. I'm reading brain lock, and so far that book offers great help. Also my friend told me a method in counseling they use is an elastic band and every time you go to pick you snap it, that way you associate the action with pain instead of positively. Also I think meditation helps... I'm going to try that out more and more, envisioning my success... All I know is i can't beat it without support and sharing with others. I'm so embarrassed I've never told anyone ever.

Hey friend, just checking in. I haven't bc I'm embarrassed I relapsed. So what should I even post? I know that's my pity party talking but I feel pretty darn awful that I went back again after I resolved to cut it out! I'm new to this forum so let me know if I'm not posting in the right place. :)
