The constant urge to pick at your skin is

2024/9/5 Edited to

... Read moreDid you know that the constant urge to pick at your skin is a recognized condition called excoriation disorder? This behavior can be harmful and is often linked to anxiety and stress. It's important to approach individuals struggling with dermatillomania with understanding and not shame. Providing support without threats is crucial; consider recommending coping mechanisms such as stress reduction techniques or fidget tools. Picky Party pads, for instance, can serve as a fun, healthy alternative to skin picking, redirecting the compulsion into a positive activity. Remember, encouraging open conversations about dermatillomania can also aid in the recovery process, helping individuals feel less isolated and more supported in their journey toward healthier skin habits.

We work so hard and when we don’t see progress as fast as we want we get discouraged but don’t forget how much you’ve achieved, how much you prayed and the obstacles you’ve been through to be where you’re at now. Sometimes you just need to look around you and be present, stop focusing on the future
