Updates: I’m at five days in a row now that I haven’t picked my face. I’m trying to replace picking my face with increased efforts at dental hygiene. I’m still picking my lips & the skin around my fingernails, but I haven’t picked my fingernails for at least 37 days now. I’ve also drawn/watercolored/collaged for 37 days in a row now too, even if for five minutes. I’m feeling cautiously optimistic about eventually maybe replacing these picking behaviors with less self destructive behaviors. It’s a marathon, not a sprint though.
