TW for skin picking

I think I finally found a way to healthily combat my anxious skin picking problem.

I found these star-shaped, hydrocolloid and salicylic acid medicated acne patches. They look like star stickers, but are actually like, zit bandaids. Everytime I get the urge to pick at my skin compulsively I put a star patch on the acne that’s bothering me and it’s working.

everything you see ab being the oldest daughter is true btw why am i the family therapist AND punching bag smh

long ass depressing rant in the tags srry i got a wee bit emotional

...WHY ARE FOLK SO MEAN WTF 😭😭

are friend break ups supposed to feel like you've been shot with a canon

also i swear i will post eventually but after that week of consistent posting i hit artblock and have been promptly sent into an annoying bout of probably depression and anxiety?

ill be back eventually, im just unusually tired ALL the time and busy

cannot WAIT until I am financially and emotionally ready to move out

might try to look for a therapist again…it’s just…the co-pays are just a lot if it’s weekly.

They should invent a psychologist that doesn't make fun of you when you mention you suspect you may have a disorder they haven't yet considered.

if you're close with someone who has social anxiety, PLEASE.

what we crave more than anything is validation. when you agree with us in conversation or casually compliment or casual compliments, it means so much.

social anxiety likes to convince us everyone hates us and that everyone judges what we do, how we look, the way we speak, and it especially likes to do that with people we're close to.

so as someone who's friends with someone who has social anxiety, just remind them that you care, that you dont hate them, that you dont find their every move annoying and that you value them. it can help, so much more than you'd imagine.

from now on if people do not like our pinned before following i will Assume they have not read it and will softblock .

i need one of those friends that i can just hit up whenever and rant about whatever

i feel so lonely man i have like 2 people who actually talk to me regularly and i don’t wanna be annoying to school acquaintances

if another able bodied person gives me advice on my physical disability and, in general, my pain I'm going to violently sob at someone

OH so there's like the opposite of abled parents who base their entire personality around having disabled kids, in the form of abled kids who base their entire personality around having disabled parents
