Stress Relief Destroy

Why can't I stop popping my pimples?
Part of me is addicted to picking at my face and popping pimples, squeezing blackheads and pores, picking off dry skin... I just go to the mirror and when I see all those pimples, I go for them. Sometimes I feel my face and if I touch a pimple that hurts to the touch, I immediately go to a mirrow and pop that pimple.
Part of me wants clear skin. So after I pop the pimples, I hate how red my face is and to prevent bacteria I cleanse my face.
I'm not going anywhere though if I keep destroying my face. WHYYYY am I addicted? Do I need mental help because I have weak self-control? Am I addicted to the endorphin rush I get when I pop my pimples? Cuz it seems that when I'm stressed I pop pimples for relief. It's bizarre because, yes, I do get relief from seeing all that junk squeezed out. Ughhh what should I do?
Oh dear, I wouldn't go as far as saying you need mental health intervention or the drastic self immolatory self control doubts.
I reckon every teenager (including myself when I was one) gains some sort of ghoulish pleasure at watching some sort of goo ooze out of the skin when a zit is squeezed or a blackhead popped.
The stress relief thing, while not worrying, probably says that you revert to something you know will occur (the squeezing of a pimple resulting in goo).
Think about another part of your life, what else do you take pleasure in? What causes you to stress out? I think if you put some time into thinking about what serves as a pleasurable experience and then replacing pimple popping (not completely, give yourself a bit of fun) with that source of pleasure.
Maybe think about situations that cause stress. Can you envisage an alternative to the activity that stresses you out? If so try that.
I know I cannot solve your problem but I hope you get some ideas.
Look maybe you need to see your doctor and relate to him your stress issues if any of the above tricks don't work.
Good luck honey!
