I'm picking them a lot right now. I think it's the worst I've done and usually when I get to a certain point I stop, they heal and then it starts again.

I'm on zoloft to help with my anxiety and I know SSRI's can help with OCD.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
HI! If you want to know how to get out from skin picking anxiety, you will first have to understand why it happens. The reason that someone suffers from this condition is that they have an anxiety disorder that is constantly on the surface. The fear of being judged by others, the fear of being rejected by others, the fear of not being accepted by other people, the fear of being left alone, and the fear of being rejected by others. When you have a lot of these feelings going on in your life, it can become very easy to pick at certain things. This can happen with people who are in certain situations, like at work, at school, at home, or even during your social interactions with other people.
If you have been picking at people's skin, because they don't look quite right, it may be a sign that they don't look very happy, and this will make them very uncomfortable, so much that it can be hard to think straight. They can be afraid to interact with other people, since they are so scared of being laughed at. Their mind starts racing all the time, and they just can't focus. You can tell when someone is anxious or nervous because they are always worried about something, or they just seem like they are not comfortable in front of you. You will notice them focusing on one spot in their body, like their nose, and they may pick at certain things with their fingers. Sometimes it is something that is obvious, but other times, they may pick at their face or even their hair.
How to get out from skin picking anxiety is to let go of the fear of being ridiculed. You have to learn that it is perfectly normal, and you should not feel embarrassed about this. You need to learn to not be embarrassed, because being embarrassed is never good for you, especially when you have these deep-seated fears. You need to learn to be open with your anxiety, because it is something that will help you deal with other issues that you might be facing in your life, when you deal with skin picking anxiety. It is not worth it to deal with skin picking anxiety only to find that you are in more pain and suffering, because you are not able to deal with other issues, like you normally would. When you deal with your skin picking anxiety, it can lead to other problems. Hopefully it will help
