I feel just the same way. My face is so bad and I feel so ugly especially when I see someone with perfect skin. I can not control it if I am exhausted. Something about falling asleep makes me do it without knowing and takes all my mental control away to stop. Some days it's really bad no matter how awake I am. If I feel dirty, grubby, acne has broken out along with my picking, etc... I can't tell you how to fix it. I guess just practice mental control? really lame I know...sometimes impossible. I wish I had an answer cause then I could stop too! maybe sit on your hands or smack them when you go to do it or if you catch yourself...maybe the physical sense will snap you out of it?? I'm going to try that I think...
