i think a good way to help all of us to get rid of our dirty little secret is to become more involved in the treatment of our peers such as p2p convos as well as hanging out with people who suffer from the same compulsions so that we can become more comfortable with the skin we are in to help alleviate the anxiety brought on by these picking episodes if they do occur if anyone wishes to you can email me at flashbomb66@yahoo.com just let me know youre from this site and drop me a short message name intro something simple and i will be more than happy to offer my own personal advice and support

hay ! I'm new to the forum :) a 23 year old Israeli girl, skin picking since 14.. I have just decide to sing in after a sleepless night in which I scratched 4 hours straight in front of the mirror reaching my legs , face , hands , chest & neck ... long night ... The ways I have tried so far to help me stop , were not helpful .. I hope to get some more ideas here. hoping for better days :]]] and good luck to all of us !

I'm from Cheltenham too. I can't believe it. Perhaps we should get in touch? maybe we can help eachother? i'll keep an eye out here and no worries if you're not up for it. It's just nice to know there are other people about, even locally that understand this affliction. Take care.
