I don't want to call it an obsession because I don't know what "it" is... but ever since age 12, I pick my face everyday. If I pass a mirror, or I feel a pimple starting on my face, I will start going at it. It won't just be a quick thing, it usually turns into a 30 min- 2 hour escapade. I'll feel my face for any bumps, or I'll scan my pores. It's awful. I come out looking like a cheetah with red spots. It'll affect me for days. I won't want to go out because I'm insecure/ashamed. Now it isn't even just my face anymore. I'll pick any pimples or bumps on the top of my back and chest. The longest I've gone without what I call "destroying my face" has been three days. I don't know how to stop. As far as I know, I'm not nervous. I'll just do it when I feel something or when I'm bored. I think at this point I need help. Considering I'm 17 and should be able to control my actions.
