Cool diary, hope I find my way back to read more.
from dangerspouse :
Just for the record: we don't feel guilty about it afterwards.

It's not unreasonable. It's possible-- trust me, I used to be as pessimistic about relationships as you seem to be. Just be patient, you'll find that perfect guy. I promise.

Im not sure if you really want outside input on your personal life but I just wanted to let you know that I went through depression for a long time (and still have my moments now and then) and I got to the same point that I needed to go to a therapist. Im not sure how medical/mental health works in the states cause im in canada but I went to my doctor and he reffered me to the therapist. The first appointment was really ackward and I cried through most of it and there was about 20% good information and 80% that i thought she could have just kept to herself. I also thought I would try and avoid taking any sort of medication for fear of the stigma people would associate with "crazy people on meds". She put me on a low dosage of celexa and Im so glad she did. I only made it through 2 of the therapy appointments because I deemed her as an idiot and thought I could do better with a workbook from chapters (which i have)but honestly the medication was so awesome. I didnt feel like a zombie, or like I was not my usual self. All it did was take away the anxiety so that I did worry and obsess about the tiny little things that would irrate me so quickly before. I ended up staying on the pills for about a month and chose to go off of them since I was feeling so much better. I am obviously not a doctor so I cant tell you what to do I just thought you may appreciate knowing that the meds arent as bad as they are made out to be and I would probably still be in the same place as you if I hadnt taken that step. I hope you dont mind me reading your diary...I just find it comforting that Im not the only one.

i'm constantly pulling on my eyelashes and tapping my fingers against my lips as if i'm thinking intensely about something. i pluck my leg and arms hairs out as well... sometimes i'll pick at my skin until it bleeds. i have a lot of little scabs on my arms. i do the same thing with the headphones. i check things a million times before i'll leave them alone. i nibble on my fingernails, though i never bite them off. i too have obsessive thoughts and talk to myself often. i sometimes even have hypothetical conversations with myself, aloud. i cut my hair extremely short but, when it was long, i was constantly brushing my fingers through it because i didn't want knots, though it was more often than most girls do, making my hair somewhat greasy in the process. just a lot of little things, really.
from amber-yoder :
This might sound weird, but I have a lot of the same 'OCD' symptoms that you have. I thought that I was just weird. I have been trying to get better about a lot of it as well. Good luck to you though. I hope you achieve your goals. =]
