The Next Day

I have to stop doing this. I need to stop being so self-destructive. I need to let myself heal. This is a remnant, of an earlier, more insecure phase of my life. This behavior is no longer congruent with my current self. I was able to stop biting my nails, a long time ago. Why can't I stop picking my skin?

If I could stop, how long would it take for me to see an improvement? I think scabs would form and fall off in about a month, maybe three weeks. I don't know if my scars will ever fade. Probably after about two years I'd see as much improvement as there'll ever be. Can I make it even a week without picking?

I will try, and I'll document my struggles and successes here.
