Quitting Buddies?

I have dermatillomania and some anxiety problems. It sort of started as a way to relax and got out of hand. Now it's mostly habit- I pick when I'm watching tv, or whenever I'm close to a mirror my hands sort of automatically go to my face and I'm bleeding before I even realize what happened.

I've worked through a managing a lot of my anxiety stuff in therapy, I've gotten out of a bad situation and away from most of my triggers. I've tried to stop the way I usually pick- I've gotten rid of most of my mirrors and drawn on the one that I use to put on makeup to help me snap out of an episode, I've gotten a sticker list to keep track of the times (I always picked the most mornings and evenings, when I wash my face) I don't pick and reward myself for it.

But I live alone, and I don't really have anyone I can talk to about it. I used to think I was alone, that I was the only one who did this to herself- my parents and my dermatologist noticed, but they told me to "just stop" and "snap out of it" and I would've if I could've. Not to mention threatening me with being permanently scarred (and disfigured), which only freaks me out more (and makes me start picking again to deal with the anxiety- vicious cycle).

Anyway, I thought if there's someone out there also trying to quit/cut back, we could sort of sponsor each other? Knowing that someone else is going through the same thing relieves me, and we could cheer each-other on. Just having someone to report to who understands it's a victory for me to go a day without picking would be incredible.

Never mind, I've already blown it.

Hey, hey. I'll be your buddie. I'll help you give up the picking. U can help me too
