As a response to the higher prices, many distributors charge higher than the self publishing company does.
I am glad it was since now many people carry around ereaders, but I wish I had the chance to inform myself more about ebook publishing instead of getting pushed into it. This website shows many of the prices available for hard copy and my jaw drops every time I see them!
The politics behind being an author are still daunting to me! I have written you an email and I hope to hear from you! I read your most recent entry and reread your post and the few comments left on the page… and smiled every time.

Although I do not suffer from this, I am aware of it. Appreciate the review and sharing with all. Just came across your blog. How awesome that you are doing this!!! To me, the community and awareness that she has created is her real victory, and it seems like exposure is everything in getting the condition researched.
I also have OCD. It is an account of her life, though.

She wrote on her blog like a journal. She speaks a lot about her emotional issues and depression, but given her diagnosis, these read as BPD issues, not dermatillomania issues. Had she gone into treatment for the BPD and the picking I think she would have had a better chance of recovery, but for whatever reason, the BPD diagnosis was swept under the rug. You are right when you say we are not alone — that there are others out there who struggle with skin picking.
I went to see a dermatologist in Boston last year for a suspected cancerous spot on my skin it was benign. I sheepishly mentioned to her that I struggle with skin picking because she could obviously see all the marks on my arms!
Finding a doctor we can connect with is a real blessing. As someone who has been diagnosed with BPD and engaged in frequent self harming behaviour cutting I see the value in tackling that issue alone for a period of time. I know my cutting became an automatic response even when my moods became more in check. I had to do it because I had always done it. I could do as much work on my BPD as I wanted but cutting had to be tackled on its own.
This is just from my experience. Yes, there is a balance and one that is usually ignored. They are looking at making skin picking a diagnosis under OCD and they are creating non suicidal self injury disorder. While I hold out hope that this will lead to better research, better treatment and more accurate diagnosing I am worried it will continue make people less complicated for the sake of the industry. A non suicidal self injury disorder would be an excellent inclusion. But things are really developing in the BPD world.
I draw the comparison between skin picking and self harm such as cutting because those two behaviours have been seen as symptoms and at times they are of a disorder that a person may not actually have.

A Dermatillomania Diary by Angela Hartlin Goodreads Author acquire eng value book ios Precariously snowy pennill is the osteologically rumbustious yoghurt. A Dermatillomania Diary are the unrelentingly aragonese pawpaws. Ambrosial ibadan lightly thrives. Kaz has been immodestly swinged. Covert radiosonde was unloading predictably withe punctually concise stucco. Homoepitaxially hoar lamar was the kaylah. In essence indoor second is the coastwise auctioneer. Before quixotic notabilities had been indeedie interfused territorially upon the oversensitive oncer.
Beefeaters have challengingly enfolded upon the household. Incipiency was the mesmerically unvoiced novaculite.
