Can symptoms of body dysmorphia come and go, like It was never explained to me properly what it was

[akrivv-blog]

Yes. This has been noted in a study on it. 

"Furthermore, some individuals with BDD describe fluctuations in insight, such that they are completely convinced that they are ugly at some times but not convinced at others.6 As one patient remarked: “Some days I think my skin's not so bad, but other days I'm convinced.”1 Observations such as these offer further support for the view that delusional BDD and nondelusional BDD constitute the same disorder, characterized by a range of insight, rather than being different disorders."

There are times like this, when my skin starts healing despite me picking, that I realize that the imperfections do not cause the picking, but its the other way around. Because even when things are almost gone, as hard as it is, I rip them back open, like I don’t even want them to get better.

It’s like my skin keeps giving me second chances and I keep letting it down.

Please, skin, heal. I’m so sorry.

this is a portrait of alysha rumpshaker, it is based on a dream i had abt erica reyes where she had lisa frank hair and eyes but i made it rumpshaker instead bc she’s an amazing beauty queen who deserves to be immortalized in 80s style beauty parlor neon forever.

More courage and inspiration from Cassandra Banks :) By the way she has mentioned how skin picking has complicated and perpetuated her acne, but I don’t think she has done a video on the disorder itself yet.

Makeup can be a very useful tool. Just like Cassandra, I am 100% willing to show my bare skin in public. But when I do my makeup it can be fun, and it makes me feel more confident and more “me” when I don’t have these scars and sores on my skin, distracting from my face itself. That is a powerful thing.

Today I forced myself to finish an exercise in self-awareness to address my picking issues. I’ve attempted this twice before unsuccessfully because it felt like I had too many scars to possibly count and I didn’t feel like I could account for every single reminder of self-harm on my body, until now. After about an hour of using a marker to count them all and write down my tally, I have 1,748 reminders that I need to get better. I’m holding myself responsible instead of continuing to blindly pick away at myself. It’s time to work harder and be mindful of my hands.
