I’ve been dealing with some issues surrounding an obsessive skin picking habit for a while now, and it has begun to significantly impact my life in a negative way. My skin has been damaged, I’m losing sleep over analyzing my skin and continuously picking, and it’s affecting my overall mental health. I know this isn’t something I can overcome alone, so I’m finally seeking help. If anyone else out there is dealing with the same issue, please don’t hesitate to reach out - we can support each other.
