September - Today

Very anxious to post but someone posted some months back and seeing their success gave me so much hope, I’d like to hopefully pass that feeling on to someone else. I’ve had anxiety-related behaviors like nail biting, cuticle picking, hair pulling etc. for basically my entire life, but picking my face REALLY manifested in ~2021 and I was never able to stop for more than a few days at a time. It just kept getting worse and worse. Finally found success once I figured out a skincare routine (heavily focused on moisturizing and sticking to the same products rather than trying bandaid solutions) that helped me stop getting bumps that I would then anxiously scan over with my fingers at work all day every day. Not perfect, but major progress that I’m very proud of. 🥹
