Skinpick for Android

My therapist recommended this as a cognitive behavioral therapy technique for reducing my picking episodes (I have diagnosed excoriation disorder and trichitillomania) and I didn’t think it would work but it does. The prompts help me to notice where I am and how I am feeling when my picking is at its worst.

This helps keep track of how many times I’ve relapsed & why, I’m hoping that this Data will create insight and help me recover better. it’s very nice to have a place to write down these very specific events that you don’t hear about often. I don’t know of any other app that is specifically tailored to this kind of OCD.

It has helped me determine the pattern of when I do it. I would enjoy a delete button because some entries were accidents and I forgot to press cancel. If there is one I’d like to know where. I also dislike how the calendar tracks urges too. Maybe there should be an option button for that because it’s satisfying to see how many days I haven’t picked 🙂

The program is well intentioned. However, the therapist we were assigned to was very slow to respond and unlocked the sessions very slowly (so that fees could be collected for longer). Then she wasn’t available for another week due to vacation. The admin wasn’t much more responsive. Be prepared to pay $196 per month for a while if you want to get through the whole program.

App crashes every time I try to create an entry. Pointless.
