Day 8: A Bad Habit

A Bad Habit



Okay, so out of all the items in the 30 Day Photo Challenge list, this was the day I was least looking forward too.  I dragged my feet with doing today's assignment.

I feel like I'm standing here naked!

Hello, my name is Brooke.  And I'm a picker.  Not as in garbage picking.  More like face picking.  Any small type of blemish on my face, and I go after it.  It's gross.  It's an awful habit.  I've done it forever.  It probably started out when I actually did have acne as a teenager.  And over the years it's simply continued as a stress outlet.  Like someone biting their nails.  A nervous habit of sorts. Only worse. And honestly, you can look at my face and tell just how stressed I am by how much damage I've caused to my face.  It's my own stress-barometer.  Sometimes I don't even realize I'm picking away at my face.  And other times, I'm in the midst of my own personal crisis, and I can't keep my hands off my face.  (Talk about needing therapy!  You might just find me on My Own Strange Addiction on TLC one day.)  At the moment, I'm a little stressed.  You could say I've been that way for the past few months.  And thanks, but a rubber band on my wrist for me to snap as a means of determent just doesn't cut it.

I am a picker too. Since my teens as well. Maybe we should try getting hypnotised or something??? Nothing else seems to get me out of this habit. (oh and I bite and pick on my cuticles as well.... :| )
