I’ve been doing really good, I hadn’t picked my skin for around a week, but tonight as I was doing my nighttime routine I gave in to the urges and picked. 🙁🙁 I’m so upset with myself, I should’ve just done my routine and gone to bed, but I got rid of all of my progress and I feel so guilty.
What’s even worse is I know that I didn’t “get all of it out” (part of my OCD) so I still feel disgusting and will probably pick again tomorrow morning.
I’ve struggled with this disorder alongside OCD for many years, creating art about it has helped me express myself in ways words cannot. 🫧💗
I was prescribed Prozac a week ago but haven’t filled my script until today, I’ve never tried an SSRI before. I’ve heard that heat intolerance and sweating are possible side effects of Prozac, I already struggle with tolerating both of those due to sensory issues. What is the likelihood of developing excessive sweating caused by Prozac?
I’m in my senior year of high school and I might not graduate because I’ve missed so much school because of this disorder. I usually go through phases where my picking gets worse and I’ll occasionally miss a few days of school but I can usually cover it with makeup. However the past few weeks have been horrible, my skin is the worst it’s been in a long time and I feel hopeless, I’ve been missing so much school because not even makeup can cover it (it’s basically 3D with the amount of scabs) and I don’t know what to do.
I’ve been seeing a therapist for my OCD and we’re doing ACT therapy to help with the picking, it helped at the start but I feel like I’m treatment resistant if that’s even a thing, I’m desperate for any advice. :(
