Please help me, I’m going insane.
For the last two weeks my head has been itching. Not my scalp, my head. Like crawling – headlice. It’s not all day and it’s not constant, but it is everyday.
Now I should mention that headlice, bedbugs and fleas are a huge worry for me. I’ve been through a phase of being convinced I had bedbugs – turned out I didn’t. I’ve been through a few phases of thinking I had lice as this has happened before – I didn’t. This is what I’m holding on to – that it could just be anxiety/Pure O. However, what worries me is that it’s never gone on this long before and it’s never felt so ‘real’ before. I’ve had my head checked twice and nothing has been found. I’ve even gone out and bought the treatment and put it on. Then I did the whole comb/conditioner thing as well – nothing. So the facts are in my favour, I know that. However I can’t explain how real this crawling feeling feels. Even when I’m not thinking about it, it happens. I’m analysing who and where I could’ve caught nits from.
I’ve told myself that this is it now, no more worrying about it as there has been nothing found. But it keeps happening and that’s why I can’t stop myself worrying about it. I even feel like going to the doctor and asking them to check as I feel like I just don’t believe the person that’s checked twice already because of how real it feels.
This is pulling me into a bad place re anxiety, please does anyone have any advice?
