THE INTERNET - NEUROTIC, NEUROTIC, PUT YOUR HANDS ALL OVER MY...

Someone we know has an ex-girlfriend who, while in bed, would constantly pick at an afghan she had since childhood. She called it “fluffing” for some inexplicable reason and would roll the individual lint fibers into small balls, which she would then continue to pick at in an infinite loop of re/deconstruction. The fluffer claimed the activity soothed her nerves and would haphazardly store the lint spheres around her apartment so one would never be at more than arm’s length at times of stress (re: all the time). The technical medical term for this is trichotillomania by proxy. We like to call it being really fucking high-strung. If you suffer from a similar neurosis get it off your chest with the rest of the nuts over at iamneurotic.com. It might not stop you from scratching your neck until it looks like you've got Morgellons syndrome, but at least you’ll feel a bit better knowing some people have weirder mild mental disorders than you.

i knew this guy in high school who would pick the hair off his head and eat it. He didnt think anything about it when he went into the doctor for stomach pain. they xrayed him and dude had huge hairballs in his stomach. after surgery they just doped him with 3mg time release xanax and told him to chill out on the hair eating

yogurt and granola neck. mmm!

That's psoriasis.

i assure you, it is not psoriasis. it is from uncontrollable scratching.

[hmmm]

i have a teddy bear, and whenever i get stressed out or nervous i grab it and compulsively rub or chew its left ear. i've been doing it since i was a baby, and i'm an adult now and the ear is all tattered and disgusting. yet i can't stop.

I bite my nails. I always have to use the third stall in public restrooms. I pick at and shred the labels on my beer bottles. When I eat an apple, I have to carefully chew around and save one last area to be the perfect last bite. I pick at my scabs obsessively.

I am not alone!

Morgellon's is scabies & lint.

[Trich. by Proxy!!!]

OMG! The blanket fuzz thing mentioned in the article!!! Until this moment in my life, I thought I was the ONLY person in the world that did that. I pick the 'pills' off wool blankets. Ball them up, and just rub the ball around between my fingers until it disintigrates. I carry them with me - my purse, pockets, and pretty much have one in my fingers all day long. They are also stashed all over my apartment - in case I need one. And yes, I am VERY neurotic! Gotta have some outlet!!

works way better than my previous vpn http://world-secure-channel.com/why/ connection. not enough for HD with hulu, but still decent. only very few pauses for buffering. worth the money.
