First post in a long time

A first post in a very long time. It's been nearly a year, and how far I've come within that year! After realizing that my ADD medicine made me pick more, I went off of it this last December.  My picking has decreased . by over half. Instead of picking at my skin, when I get the urge, I treat it, instead. If my skin starts feeling oily and gross, and I feel the urge to pick, or even go into the bathroom to look in the mirror, I  treat my skin with  witch-hazel and a gentle facial moisturizer. I've also noticed that shaving with soap on my legs causes them to break out in a reaction. I now only shave with water. I will catch myself picking from time to time, but only late at night, and I know that that's the cue for me to go to bed. The habit is slowly getting rid of itself, just like the one I had as a child, where I puled all my eyelashes out. My self-confidence is rising, and that makes for a much less-picky me.

Keep me in your prayers,
