Picker

I am a pick pick picker!!!

I pick at my scabs
I pick at my pimples
I pick at anything that is raised & my nails can get to it.

It's GUROSS.


But...

I love doing it ;)


It's satisfying!

When I pick down till it bleeds.

I wish I could say that it's only for my skin imperfections that I find myself picking...

I am a Self Picker as well.
I pick away at the unwanted parts of myself. To an unhealthy degree.

Scratching the surface is one thing but making myself feel utter shame, that is just not nice!

I pick away at myself until I bleed...

"Why would you do that?
Why would you say that?
How did that make them feel?
You shouldn't have done, said, been there..."

Oi.

I feel justified & satisfied once the bleeding begins but...

now...

Sadly, the scab has to reheal the initial hurt as well as the added self abuse bc of this disappointment.

When you pick a scab on your knee then it takes longer to heal.

& the new replacement scab is always gnarlier than the first.

Same with Self-Picking.

Today, do you pick away at your imperfections until you bleed? Does it make you feel better?Are you an emotional cutter?! Where you might not cut your skin but you slice your spirit.

Stop picking!

I have applied a NO-Self Picking Zone!!!

On my spirit & my body ;)
