I'm going for therapy this week

[K i m z y]

I've been crying because it's driving me crazy having to wash my hands constantly because I always feel sticky.
I also have hair OCD and I think that I probably have Body dysmorphic disorder.

When I was a little girl I always hated being sticky.
I think it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. Even so, my hands are cracking from so much washing.

Will therapy even work? I feel like such a freak. cry

What sort of person cries because their hair is a mess? cry

I'm constantly fighting with myself. I'm never happy. I only put a fake smile on, but inside I'm hurting.

All this happening has caused me to turn into a horrible person and I can't help it.
Now I'm realizing that I need help.

Aw, you're not a freak.
And the fact that you realize you need help and are going to therapy is a good first step. <3

You're not a horrible person either.
Good luck ♥

I'm really nervous because I've never been to therapy before.

Good luck!Being a stranger, I'm very proud that you're reaching out to fix something that you yourself see as a problem. You're doing so in a very respectful manner and the best of luck to you! Don't be afraid(although I'm sure you're going to be nervous anyway). You''re going to see a professional and they will do their best to help so do not be afraid : ) we're here for you too : )

Don't worry, hun =]

You aren't a freak. We all have little quirks like that.

But if it's getting in the way of daily life, then yes, it's good that you're seeking professional help.

My mom and I went to a therapist for awhile because we were always, always fighting. It was a really good for us =)

She was super helpful, very nice and not judgmental at all. Hollywood tends to portray therapists as distant and cold, only there to make a buck, but that's soo not true!

There's really nothing to be nervous about. =]
