I know that sounds like an enthusiastic title but I feel like absolute crap...
Over the last month I didn't really have the time to think about it because of exams, but now that I have a month to myself before finals, all the exhaustion and stress is just piling onto me. I've been getting these regular, splitting headaches that make it almost impossible to do anything but lay in bed and wait for it to go away. I'm eating normally and everything else seems absolutely fine but mentally, physically and emotionally I'm so drained I feel like a walking corpse. I don't tell my friends any of this because I know they feel the same way as they're all going through the same thing(upcoming finals for their last year in high school), and I've given up telling my family anything because all I'll hear is "It's only a few months more. You're almost done, and afterwards you can be proud of yourself when you get into a college or university". As if I didn't have enough on my plate, the stress they give me just makes me feel worse...
I've even been trying my best to get enough sleep recently. But I still have no energy to do anything but the bare minimum of just waking up and taking care of my birds.
I don't know what to do with myself.... I feel pathetic.... I just hope no one else is suffering as much as this.... If you are, I'm so sorry, but you're not alone<3

Trichotillomania

Trying to relax, trying to go to sleep, preventing anxiety, getting rid of troubling thoughts. These efforts do not work. Life happens, thoughts occur, and feelings surface. Practically everything is tolerable but our resistance, thoughts, opinions, added dramatic stories, and emotional reactions turns an unpleasant (and temporary) experience into a thing that persists.
All thoughts come and go. Their arrival does not make them meaningful. Some leave quickly and without much notice. These thoughts got nothing from you and dissolved back into the nothingness from which they came.
You are not your thoughts. You are the ones who can and should decide which ones are worthy of your considerations and maybe initiating your actions. When an unwanted thought, emotion, or sensation arrives, offer no resistance, let it stay for as long as it lasts, form no opinion, do not add a story about it. Eventually it will be replaced with something else vying for your attention. If it is wanted, useful, or helpful, give it all of the energy it deserves (attention, imagination, excitement, added story, emotions, etc.).
Try this for a while and see if it is helpful.
