I have gone to that website before but thanks for sending it again. Here's the catch 22 for me....I pick my skin when I am resting or watching tv...times of "relaxation". I am like the tazmanian devil and am trying to learn to relax and do nothing, but when I "do nothing" I start to pick.
The article talked about CBT and finding alternative things to do when the urge to pick comes, but then isn't that "busy work" like I have always done? Should I get a worry stone or something to rub while I am watching tv? I really don't feel like learning how to crochet or embroider.....so I am kind of stuck.
I have picked most of my fingers pretty good this weekend since biting my fake nails off and have started a good patch on my feet (this is so disgusting writing about this but I am confessing to you guys) and I am going to force myself to go get fake nails put on this morning because I know I will totally mutilate myself by the end of the day if I don't.
I can't tell you how much I hate it that I can't stop. It makes me feel like a failure and a loser and a freak. :(
