A thought that made me feel so anxious

[karisanaParticipant]

Hi I have CSP and just every few minutes  I have a thought to pick my skin and it makes me feel so anxious, I have terrible panic attacks. Now all I can do is think about picking my skin and I feel so much pain and I was feeling better until recently. Now every time I think about it I feel apprehension like I don’t want to.  I am freakug out and can’t stop dwelling on it. It feels like I will do this forever and my heart aches. I’m so scared please help me
