Hey everyone,

I'm new here and, like everybody else, just looking for support. I've been picking at the keratosis pilaris on my arms for about 4 years now and the scars have gotten bad. I can't stop. It takes me to this "safe", private place in my head. I don't know how to get that feeling (or if i can get that feeling) without picking. I see a therapist and have a support system, but it's just so automatic.

I'm so embarrassed about my arms. I have a lot of weddings and a vacation coming up where i'll be sleveless and i'm just mortified. I want to stop but I don't know how. I'm going to try the techniques in the Chill Out program and see how it goes.

Would love to hear from anyone who can relate.

Thanks for reading,

Birdy
