WTH(eck) to do, wasting away hours of my day picking at acne... anywhere, everywhere, if the skin isn't smooth and I run my fingers over it I start picking without even noticing. Feels calm and focused, maybe I'll be thinking about various things but I don't get any mental hangups while doing it, mostly just daydreaming while scouring my skin for any blemishes or dark hairs in unwanted places - especially my face in front of the mirror. I feel embarrassed, a 26-yr old MSW student with acne like a 13-yr old, blotches I'm always trying to cover with make up. Not much good anywhere but my face, though. Once in a while I'll notice a blemish while in class, and it's such a distraction to me to not start picking at it around everyone.

This happens to me only when I am not doing anything, like just sitting there. If I am distracted, If I am doing something, I won't pick. Try that.

I folded origami cranes for a while and that helped. But even just trying to catch up on internet stuff or homework I'll catch myself doing it. Blargh.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
