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.

i made this fml account just to comment on this post. . . u should go to a nail salon and get accrilic (spell check)over your nails they file them down so smooth that u wouldnt really be able to scratch nd there thicker then a real nail so it would be harder to pick at your face nd if ur a guy its ok 2 cuz they can make them look very natural =) it might help i hope it does

ozymadnias- reading your comments on this made me go absoloutely, raging mad. I have anxiety and I pick at the skin around my nails to the point where the bleed uncontrollably and I cannot help this and I CERTAINELY do not do this for attention. how dare you call some one a drama queen for having this issue. I take it to offense. and for everyone else saying that her life is messed up- just because you have anxiety does not men your life is messed up or DEFINITELY not that you are an emo!!!!

I completely agree with you! I also have an anxiety disorder and I do stuff like that as well. I definitely don't do it for attention or to be a drama queen in any way. And I hate people who say things like it's no big deal, or to get over it, because it's not that easy. You have no idea what it's like, so you have no right to say ANYTHING about it. Just shut up!

There's no shame in getting a counselor, you don't need to live with anxiety. Just talking to someone will help.
