I did some quick research on face picking tonight. I know it's hard to tell how messed up my face looks from the pictures that I took today, but trust me, I've got really bad scars all over my face. I can kill an hour or more by standing in front of the mirror, picking my face, shoulders, and chest. Anyway, if you're at all interested, here are a few sites that you might want to start with:

I've decided that I'm going to bring my face picking up during my next therapy session. I've got to change the appointment due to terrible scheduling on my part. Hopefully I'll be able to see Cathy sometime this week or next. I'd like to know more about face picking. There's got to be something I can do to stop myself, because I'm making a muck out of my face. Today was one of those days where make-up could hide my little secrets. Most days Cover Girl can't touch what I've got to hide.
