Is the goal to just go cold turkey and never pick again or just have the self control to stop? It’s so crazy to me how just 5-7 minutes of picking leads to scars that last for DAYS. Anyone have info on how you are thinking about this?
Been picking my skin incessantly the past few months, trying to use this post as an accountability measure to hold myself to some standard and see how long I can go- going to update this post as the days progress, feel free to hop in the comments and join me if it would be helpful to you! What a weird and hard thing we all deal with. Hoping to get to a point where I understand this about myself and can start being able to control the urges.
looking for some perspective on a work situation I’m in.
I recently gave a verbal acceptance to a job that would be about a $10k/year pay cut for me, but it offers what I think would be a healthier team environment and a much shorter commute (both big factors for me right now).
At the same time, I’m currently in final rounds for a different position at my same organization, just in another department. This second role would be more of a stretch and a bit of a career pivot, but it’s something I could genuinely see myself getting excited about- and it would come with higher pay and more flexibility. I should know within about a week whether I get it.
Where I'm stuck:
Would it be inappropriate to continue interviewing for the second role? And if I were to get it, how bad is it to rescind a verbal acceptance in a situation like this?
Curious how others have navigated something similar - especially when relationships and reputation are a factor.
Thanks in advance.
