"Hello, my name is Alexandra and I have struggled with picking my skin for as long as I can remember. I found your foundation last night, and I just want to thank you guys for all that you do for such a misunderstood community of amazing people. You're changing the way people look at my disorder, and I can't thank you enough." -@gukiefriedrice

"Picking Me Foundation is a place where I can go to find people like me, read their stories, try their advice, and feel less alone. Body focused repetitive behaviors are really hard to overcome alone, so finding people to make you feel less alone will make everything so much easier, and you'll feel understood and appreciated the whole way.” -@hopefuldermatillomaniac

"As someone with Dermatillomania, I have to say I love what you're doing! You are inspiring people to love themselves and that they're not alone. This disorder is still unknown and you are helping break that wall. Once again I thank you for what you are doing." @zollis_wonderland

"I really appreciate this page you've created. I literally always thought I was just a weirdo with no self control and felt gross. thank you for helping me feel not alone." -Anonymous

"#PickingMe has shown me hope and a community for people living with Skin Picking, not only based in Northern America, but also on a more international scale. They provide me and us with so much support and remember me to pick me over anything." -@hautfarbenschwarz

"#PickingMe over Skin Picking actually touches my heart bc if I am stressed I will pick at my skin. I did it so much in high school I got a staph infection and in college MRSA. If you struggle with Skin Picking, check them out @pickingmefdn" -@Haffner20

"I usually only post through my other account my things related to skin picking. But today you, and all the community we've made, gave me the strength to show myself with (literally) all the people I know. My hands are still shaking, but I think I owed it to myself to stop hiding. And I could have only done it because of people like you, and the awareness you help raise." -@chinapgs

"Looking at your page instantly made me cry. I have felt so alone, ashamed, embarrassed. Thank you." -@comida_delatierra
