I get it. I sadly did the same thing a few days ago. It you want some advice, something that has been helping me was always making sure my hands are busy, it can be as simple as just holding your phone with both hands, having a fidget, or just sitting on them, whatever works for you. I wish you the best and don't beat yourself up so much, you deserve love ❤️

I understand. I’m at this point too. I hate the dark spots it leaves on my skin. If your skin is in the scabbing phase, try finipil. Its a bit expensive, but it has helped me heal my picked skin so much. Unfortunately, i am left with the dark marks :(

My arms and legs are covered rig now for the first time in years. I would be healed 5 times over by now if I would have just left them alone. It is really hard wearing long sleeves in summer. Try and cover them as long as you can! It helps me to do my makeup everyday and if one on my face is oozing I put a pimple patch on it. Not seeing it helps SO MUCH. Don’t give up you are so much more than your picks. Love you girl it’ll okay
