Today, I found out that my anxiety disorder has escalated to where I now scratch and pick at my face while asleep. Now I get to sleep with oven mitts taped to my hands. FML

It's a DISORDER. If this person's anxiety has gotten so bad that they've started doing that in their sleep, their life certainly is ******. You have no idea how horrible it is. I have severe anxiety that can sometimes prevent me from doing daily things. And don't call me a ******* emo because you don't have any idea about how it feels! This person isn't being a drama queen at all. You just need to shut up and go curl back up in your closet where you belong.

#8: I'm pretty sure you're a troll, but STFU, it's a DISORDER. She can't grow up and get over it easily and she is not a drama queen.

Sorry, but she is pretending to scratch herself at night in order to get attention -- how is that not a drama queen? Hell, how is that not childish?

Actually, people with anxiety disorders often have a picking problem. Whether it be arms or face or wherever. Ive seen it. It's not cute. What she needs are some anti-anxiety meds to help stop the issue.

@14: Oh, stop being so ignorant. You're the child. The OP has something called dermatillomania which is a form of OCD which makes people pick their skin unconciously. I use to have a serious case of this and now I still have some scarring left even though its years later. Its a stress related disorder. @17: Lol. It made me smile though... Oven mitts. ^^ Maybe its comfier. I'd rather wear oven mitts than have my hands sweaty and peel.

you are a ******* idiot. why the **** would you just assume that about a random person who you don't even know? anxiety disorders are real you ******* dumb shit. unfortunately there is no personality disorder that explains being a retarded asshole, so what's your excuse?

That sucks. FML for sure. It's a disorder you can't help. I hope you're being treated for it (medically/therapy).

uh...hopefully if the OP has to pee, (s)he is awake enough to be able to take the oven mitts off and put them back on when (s)he's done, them only being a deterrent for while (s)he's asleep

have you tried getting your nails removed?

Or you could remove your head, then you wouldn't have anything to scratch.

Sounds like the side effects of meth usage.

It is. It is also a side effect of an anxiety disorder. Meth is known for making people anxious/paranoid.

A sure cure for anxiety disorder is to listen to Bobby McFarrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" song over and over and over again. It will make you kill yourself, but at least you won't be anxious anymore.
