Trying to quit (again)

Pushing as hard as I can against the vicious cycle. I want to break it once and for all. It’s so tempting to examine and re-damage my skin now that it’s looking a little better. Posting on here because I want to hold myself accountable.

I’m a middle school teacher and my job stresses me out so much. I tend to pick daily to calm myself down - but of course it results in disaster and I end up feeling so self conscious about my appearance. My students insult me and make me feel awful about the way my skin looks.

I need to stop letting them get to me. I’ve grown comfortable with the discomfort and pain and that makes me so sad. I want to be free of this disorder so I can live my life again.
