View Full Version : Help me stop it
Hi I'm a 16 year old girl and I am currently suffering from depression and severe health anxiety. I have an obsession with my lymph nodes and I was in class earlier and I have made some of them swell up a little from touching them behind my ear so much. Does anyone else do this and how do you stop yourself.
Thanks
Helloo Michy,
I'm not sure if you remember me from your first post but yes I do it! I'm also sixteen as well.
I think the trick is to notice every time you get the urge. Then you can work on ways to either accept or occupy yourself with something else, I think I told you that knowing the normal size helped me a lot. I also use to tell myself that if I wanted to know if I had something I would notice easier by not touching them. Because if I keeped touching them it was obviously going to make them bigger therefore I'd always be confused.
I hope that makes a little sense.
I'm sure your going to be fine, maybe talk to someone about it like a friend or family member. If you can't then me and many others are here for you, just message :)
Good luck, I'm sure you can get through this.
