Because of my OCD and frequent handwashing I've already permanently damaged the skin on my hands and arms, and it would be a thousand times worse now if I hadn't started carrying around and frequently applying lotion back in middle school.
I'm not sure if it's comforting to be reminded that I'm not the only one with that issue or dismayed that I'm not the only one. Through immense effort I've managed to force myself to reduce the handwashings so I sort of manage with putting lotion on my hands before bed, but my hands are still drier than a normal person's.
God, I hated those rules. Why is it that not even the school NURSE is allowed to give you things?
And so now they're not even allowed to use chapstick... If I'd had to explain my weird compulsion to wear chapstick which makes me go a little bit nuts if I don't wear it, I don't know what I'd do...
