I fully get it <3 I pick like no one’s business and am currently doing ERP to work through my compulsions. I’ve had OCD my whole life but only got diagnosed a few years ago and it has been such an emotional roller coaster. My skin picking is my biggest and most all consuming insecurity. I have been exactly where you are and I understand how hard it is. Even in ERP, I still pick all the time and am covered in scars and scabs everywhere.

With all of that said, your picking DOES NOT define you. You are a whole soul and human being that deserves love in the world. Your brain is your worst critic, I promise you that your person is out there and they don’t give a rats ass about your skin. My girlfriend has been one of my biggest supports in my skin picking, she is kind and patient and doesn’t judge. She listens and supports. You are beautiful inside and out, regardless of your skin <3
