I think I may have to join the club of those who obsessively pick/pull/pluck/pop bits of their bodies. I compulsively pick at my skin. I used to have bad acne, but now I just have the odd little pimple and the usual blackheads. Nothing grotesque or worth worrying about, but any time I pass a mirror & I'm on my own, I cannot help but stop and have a good pick at my face. Even if my skin is totally clear, I'll scrutinise it. Sometimes I'll spend 45mins picking away. It's gone beyond normal acne ridden angst.
Don't know what to do, though. Finished counselling, will be withdrawing from zoloft in a month.
BTW - should this be in social?
