16 yrs old, want to be an actress but cant stop picking everywhere. need to STOP! Pleeease help x
Hi. I'm writing this at 3 in the morning because I'm lying here keeping myself awake picking and I've gone past the point of being tired. I've been picking since I was about 10. I pick my face, legs, back, neck, chest, arms and other areas...basically everywhere. I'm bloody sick of it now and really really just want to stop picking so my face can be clear and I can actually have a chance of acting when I'm older. Its so embarrassing having all of these scars upon scars all over my back and face. I used to cry a lot because of it. But nowadays I'm just angry about it. Its like, I KNOW that its absolutely no good for my skin and everytime I touch a spot it will get worse but I just can't stop, no matter how many fidget toys I have or distractions. I just can't stop and right now I just want to burst into tears and slap myself in the face for not stopping all those years ago when it wasn't so bad. Ugh, my face is hurting... I found this sight and thought " oh my god, I'm not the only person in the world with this problem. THERE ARE OTHERS! " so I'm basically asking for someone to help me or just someone to talk to about it who can empathise... My life dream depends on having a clear face and body. I mean, my mum is awesome and knows about my picking (not all of my picking) but I think its time to reach out to others after years of marking my face. I would really appreciate it if anyone would just reply and be someone I can talk to about this. I swear this is the most determined I've ever been to stop! Thanks for reading XX Ps. The username is because I played a girl called Gina in a film x
