Hi Beth,

I keep meaning to update this, so thanks for the reminder. I’m doing okay. I have managed to not pick at my fingernails for a while, that’s still going well. I don’t think I’ve picked my face since I wrote here last. I have a new evening routine to replace the picking with increased efforts at dental hygiene instead. I can’t say that I’ve stopped picking my lips, but that has decreased noticeably, to the point my lips are smooth now & not scabby. Yes, the skin around my fingernails & my cuticles are still a literal sore spot. But I’ve definitely made progress in not picking overall. Thank you for asking!
