If you have any advice, please share because I’m desperate for a solution to my picking

I just can’t seem to stop picking at my skin. I pick mostly my face and back but I’ll also pick my chest, legs and feet if I notice any kind of imperfection. I’ve tried so many things and it just hasn’t worked. I’ve tried several medications with no success, I’ve tried fidgets and therapy exercises and hydrocolloid patches and skincare products and it just isn’t working. I’m genuinely at a loss and I’m in tears most nights because of it. Going to school makes me insecure and terrified but I can’t wear makeup because it makes my acne worse. I feel like I’ve explored every option but I just can’t find something that works for me. My triggers are any noticing imperfections in my skin and mirrors and I try to avoid both but I still end up in hour long picking sessions. The worst part is I know I need to stop but I can’t physically drag myself away from the mirror but its like I don’t have the willpower and afterwards I just feel weak and useless for giving in to the urge. I’m so grateful for any help because I’m just so upset and sick of this habit.

Gift Ideas for a 17 year old girl?

I’m struggling to think of gift ideas for my daughter, she doesn’t want the same basic gifts every other girl her age has but she can’t think of anything she really wants either. She loves space, and plants and anything she can make or craft but she doesn’t want tacky things that she’ll never use or look at again. Ideally she wants nice things that are either useful, pretty or can be an ornament in her room but also play into her interests. I looked at getting her an astronomical orrery because she like that kind of stuff but they’re just so expensive. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

First time rebinding a book, any tips for improvement?

I’ve just finished my first ever rebinding project as someone with zero experience. I can tell it looks a bit messy and not as professional as some that I’ve seen and id really appreciate some tips to improve. The details and lettering are entirely hand painted hence the messiness but I really don’t want to go down the route of htv because I don’t want my rebinds to look tacky or like something you’d see hundreds of times after a brief scroll through tiktok. Any tips or help is greatly appreciate! :)

How do I make this?

I posted on this sub yesterday to ask about alternatives to htv for the cover of my first rebind. The haters will be glad to know you’ve convinced me that there’s so many better ways out there. In true beginner fashion I decided I couldn’t just do something simple and easy and instead I found this beautiful (inlay?) design. I think I’m going to try it but I’d love some guidance from more experienced binders. How do I go about this??? My background will be black book cloth but what material should the (hand painted) inlay be? Also do you think this technique can be achieved to make a simple font title?

Alternatives for Heat Transfer Vinyl covers?

I'm rebinding a book for the first time and I'm a total beginner. I love the look of heat transfer vinyl covers but I don't own a cricut and my country doesn't offer any vinyl cutting services near me. Does anyone have any ideas on alternative ways to decorate my covers (fabric book cloth). Ideally I still want it to look neat and professional and not like a "craft project".
