ive had OCD in the past in the form of hair plucking on my legs. if there were any hairs that didnt come through properly i would pluck them and the surrounding hairs out, literally gouging out holes from my legs in order to get the hair out. recently its been starting again but not as severe. i only have a couple of holes in my legs this time but is this a healthy level of folicle frustration or has the OCD returned?thanks

OCD back again?

It doesn't sound healthy to me. How did you get past it last time?

i lost my tweezers :scream_cat: but now i have them everywhere. i realised about a week ago that i had a little lapse and vowed id never do it again but theres still a couple of hairs in the holes i have the urge to get. i have a lot of will power though and havent touched them in a few days. ill keep you posted how it goes. ill just try and keep my mind on other things for now

Throw them all away.

Do follow sdp's suggestion, Amy. OCD is difficult, but if you were able to beat it before, you should be able to again. If necessary, SSRI antidepressants are very helpful in curbing OCD, but you can probably beat this one on your own.
