I am truly enjoying the new me that is not being dominated by a bad habit. Last week, I did have a set back but I did not let it overtake me. I did pick 3 eyelashes. I was sad about it, but I did have to remember that just a few months ago, those 3 hairs would quickly and literally lead to hundreds.
Last week I went to a Hair Pulling and Skin Picking Support Group. This was absolutely amazing to me. I’m not sure if anyone noticed, but I was literally fighting tears the entire time. If felt absolutely amazing to have a room full of people who actually understand the struggle of this disorder. There was even a therapist hosting the group who provided lots of useful information and pointers. I was given a bottle of NAC vitamins. I have read a lot about them and how it helps pickers. I also listened to the stories of others and how they feel it helps. I am saving mine for a day that is extremely hard for me before I try them. I keep them in my purse just in case.
I will certainly go back to the next meeting and look forward to receiving more information about this topic.
I am not a picker anymore!!!!!!!
