Anyone else ripping their hair out more than usual or just me? ~when normal anxiety meets election anxiety~

COME ON NEVADA. I cannot deal 4 more years of trump bs!!

I’ve had the worst ocd episode of my life. It’s like my brain is trying to tell me everything I thought I knew about myself is a lie. I feel like I’m a prisoner to my mind. My therapist suggested I start an ssri so that erp can go smoother. I need opinions on celexa and Lexapro please if you have had experience with them. I’m scared of medication and have been trying to use cbd oil (which is great), but I feel I need more. I’m desperate and can’t live like this any longer. Please I need advice

I’m going to get vulnerable...I’m officially diagnosed with GAD and ocd. No shock here, it’s been a long time coming. It’s nice having a label, but it’s also really overwhelming. Quarantine and covid has made my ocd a million times worse and I have multiple breakdowns a day because I can’t deal with the obsessive thoughts anymore. I try to distract, but they’re always there, lingering. I can never be at peace. Sorry for the dark post, life is at a stand still, but my mind is far from it.

I am someone who is very secretive about my Trich. I have barely told anyone, not because I am ashamed, because if anything us trichsters should be admired for living in our heads everyday. But because there are people out there who will judge, and not give us the admiration we deserve, that's why I stay quiet and I know I deserve more than those judgemental assholes.

I made it!!

Two days pull free. I've switched from pulling to just playing with my hair. I am so so proud of myself. I never would have thought I could make it even one day, now two!!! It can be done people!

fail

just spent an hour and a half pulling. and talking to my mom. i then told her brb just to go to the bathroom and pull.

i failed on what i tried to do

ive had 2 hours of sleep in the last 30 hours

i also had high anxiety at the concert.

i think the mixture of both caused me to fail so badly.

so many lashes had that hurt so good feeling when they came out.

*sigh*

Going into day 2

Day one was pretty difficult not to pull. But I didnt!! The hardest part was keeping my hands busy during the times I just wanted to feel my eyelids. But I refrained! I am so proud of myself.

I think I need to invest in a fidget toy to keep my hands occupied when I feel the urge the most. When I got urges last night at work, I played with a fake nail that had come off. It helped tremendously!
