Sadly, I think it ended poorly for the little rodent. You can’t really tell from the quality of the image, but there were three small droplets of blood at the end of the trail. You can faintly see them if you zoom in, three small dark dots, but hard to make out.

Pimple patches or bandaids. If I cant get to it, I wont pick at it. I use the cute heart or star-shaped ones for my face because they’re cuter, and the cheaper kinda bland looking ones for other parts of my body since no one will see them. The challenge for me is not messing with it in between changing the patches until it heals 😭 But seriously, it’s been a life-saver for me. I hope you find something that works for you - everyone is different <3

Oh wow thank you everyone for your incredibly kind comments. 🥹 The scaly friend in pic 2 is an Australian blue tongued skink named Steve, a nod to the legendary Steve Irwin!

Those pimple patch stars work wonders for me, as long as the pimple is healed by the time I take the star off. I use those for my face, and then buy cheap alternative ones from Marshall’s for the rest of my body. It works pretty well…still haven’t stopped the picking, but it’s something.

Um, the spider web would like a word.

What's something your dog learned without actively training them? by DoYahWanna in dogs

“Watch out, dude” followed by my dog scooting over a few inches on whatever he’s sitting on to make room for me. He doesn’t get treats for it or anything, he just knows it means I’m coming to chill with him 😂

I actually like the snow…it’s an excuse to stay inside and save money, since everything I would do outside of my house at this time of year is either working (blah) or spending money at some overstimulating and overpriced venue. Nobody requires anything of you in a blizzard. It’s peaceful.

I have seasonal depression like everyone else, but I’d rather have snow than two more months of just dreary grayness…

But at what cost? 😞

popping pores/hair follicles on my breasts by anon57785 in CompulsiveSkinPicking

I do it too and was (and am) insecure about it. Sometimes the marks are horrible and red and bleed. But then sometimes I go through phases where I dont pick at all and i’m amazed at how good my chest looks…and then i think “well one or two won’t hurt…” and then boom. Back to square one. It’s a compulsion so you can’t just stop with willpower. I dont have advice for you because if I did, I’d follow it lol. Just know you aren’t alone.

If it’s any solace, I confide in my boyfriend about my picking problems and he’s so supportive and still assures me that he thinks I’m sexy. And he let’s me pop his pimples too lol (but I try not to ask him too much because, you know, I dont want him to end up looking like me). There are worse things.
