Things are going pretty well so far ![:)]()
after yesterday's slip up picking the nostril pore, it got a bit swollen later in the day so I squeezed it and lots of gunk came out (very gross I know!) then last night it still felt like there was something lurking inside so I squeezed again and the last of it shot out (haha so disgusting yet so satisfying - I have issues)...when I woke up this morning it had gone down so now there is a small coverable scab, woop!
So in spite of slipping up yesterday, I've recovered quite quickly. I've got some closed comedones on my forehead (shock![:|]()
) but I'm resisting temptation, just got to keep it up now. Since I've been pretty busy this week, I'm wondering if that is helping me not pick - knowing I have things to do and people to see is maybe acting as a sufficient deterrent. This means that tomorrow when I'm more thank likely going to be home alone, which admittedly sounds quite sad for a 22 year old to be at home on a Friday night, but equally I don't get much R&R nowadays so will be nice...
On the other hand, I mostly go on picking rampages when I'm on my own. Not good. So I think instead of getting home, lazing around and aimlessly eating and watching TV I might set a schedule for myself. Normally I'm quite organised so if I have a to-do list I will stick to it, the only problem is that I'm getting some exam results tomorrow and if I've failed then the night might not go so well...just got to stay in control and remember that even if I fail the exams I don't have to fail with picking my skin - maybe I'll have to settle for a moral victory instead!
