I Have Dermatillomania

Anybody active in this group? Please let me know if someone needs a support buddy/someone to talk to about it. I have suffered with this for many years; I have had periods of time where it got better, and periods of time where it got worse. I would love someone to talk to about it.

I could, but I'm usually zoned out at the bathroom mirror before I have a chance to think about that. My main target is my face. Honestly, it's the combo of having the opportunity to pick + lack of real motivation to do anything else that makes me do it. I can think of a few periods of times over the past decade where I managed to stop, before relapsing. The first was the summer before college; I just invested in my skin and decided to use every facial treatment possible (not really sustainable). The second was when I had a bad infection and I absolutely needed to not touch my face in order not to spread the infection. The third was when I was living in an apartment with a crappy bathroom mirror and very low lighting, so I couldn't actually see my face. Each time it was a period of 1-3 months.

But I also do it when I'm bored, happy, excited, as well as angry/anxious, scared. I don't get it :-/ I think it's like an addiction

I need your help. I have been picking my nose for the past two months. Now it is all red and I need to cover it before I leave the house which causes more problems because my skin dries due to the makeup. I cannot stop. I watch 4he blackheads and I imagine how it would feel to pop them. I need help. Please tell me some ways to fight it
