Lip picking. Yep, I can't stop. I started when I was a baby and I had gotten my lip caught in between the nipple and the lid of my baby bottle (yes that is how long ago it was). I haven't been able to stop since. It's gotten worse over the past few years. I'll do it even if it's painful, I'll do it even if I bleed, or while bleeding. There have been a few times where my lip bleed for over an hour because of it. It's gross I hate talking about it, and I want to stop. I have lip balm everywhere but I hate the way it feels, I hate the way it smells. I don't have the habit of putting it on, and it's something I have to think about while this isn't and I usually go to that first. Also, I snack a lot and drink a lot so it all gets washed away within minutes.
I'm 16 years old, I want nice perfect lips. I like them, as they're one of my best features, but I hate what I put them through, the condition I put them in. My Dad tries to help me, when he seems me doing it he'll tell me to stop and I'll stop, but he's not around or looking every second of the day. He catches me maybe 10% of the time, and that just isn't enough.
