Skin picking - help please :(

Hello friends,
I have a problem: since I started studying something I deep down hated (long story) at university, I developed a skin picking disorder. I didn't use to have pimples, but after picking my skin they would come automatically. Now it's been 3 years without ever having clear skin. I feel so desperate, because I may wake up with motivation to not do it, but at some point I feel like I can't stop and ruin everything. I can't afford to go to therapy, unfortunately. I think the only thing I need is support from people, but I'm so ashamed to tell the people I know about my disorder. 
Anyone in my same situation? Thank you.
