Dermatillomania

So, last night at work, I decided to look up reasons why people pick their face.  I discovered a diagnoses called dermatillomania.  It is defined as constant picking of the skin.  It is most common in women and is a form of self mutalation..WTH?? I'm def not a self mutilator!  It is linked to OCD, which I have already been diagnosed with.  My question is...how do I stop?  This is a thing that people do and don't even know they are doing it.  It's not something I do just to do.  My dad says, "Why can't you just stop picking your face??  I guess, according to the literature, it is subconcious.  This is a way people relieve stress and anxiety.  What is the cure??  Medication...which I'm on and hasn't done a thing, behavioral therapy and really nothing else!  Frustrating!!!  All I want is to look normal again!  I'm constantly trying to cover my face.  It's embarassing!  I've got  to train myself to STOP doing this!  I will fight until the end to stop.  I've never been a person to have blemishes.  It's embarassing and ugly!
So, the fight starts today!  I have to train myself to keep my hands off my face.  Some people pick their whole bodies...I just pick my face.  I have permanant scarring that will probably never go away.  I'm going to post the link so you can read about this more....very interesting and disturbing!  Why have I started to do this????  I don't know, but i will beat it!
Maybe I am crazy like Ash say...ha!ha!
So long for now!  So much picking to do and so little time!
