Do you know where this self-hatred and worthlessness comes from?

I don't think that you can just stop because if you could you would have by now. I think that you need to work on why you are doing it. You have identified why - the self hatred, so work on that?

Also, when you are doing the picking remind yourself in that moment why you are doing it (the self hatred). I have had success on stopping and/or changing things when I make myself aware of what is really going on.

Are you in therapy?
