Q

I hate myself for being so stupid and weak and making the same mistakes over and over again.

A

It’s really hard on my self esteem and it makes it difficult to stay optimistic and motivated after I’ve picked at my skin. But, I have made progress and I am continuing to make progress despite still picking sometimes.

What’s wrong with me?!!!

A

You have a bad habit that you’re learning to break by learning and practicing new ways to cope with uncomfortable feelings.

Q

I’ve wasted my life.

A

Skin picking has caused me a lot of suffering and I’ve spent a lot of time consumed by it. But I’ve had a pretty great life. And I’m getting better and am looking forward to a happier and healthier life for myself and Peppe.

Q

I wish I didn’t do that. Now I feel worthless, ashamed, and paralyzed. I’ve wasted another potentially beautiful day.

A

Feeling like this is a result of picking. Please remember these feelings next time you’re telling yourself it’s ok to pick a little. Maybe then, this moment will be worth something.

Q

I feel awful. All the progress I’ve made is worth nothing now.

A

I do feel awful, but if I break the cycle now, even after a picking session, I’m will start to feel better. I am getting better. Why did I pickthie time? and what can I do different next time?
