Reassurance is sometimes needed idc what anyone says .

Hi everyone. <3 was wondering if anyone with experience dealing with excoriation/skin-picking disorder has some tips or tricks that have particularly helped them. Came to NOCD this week for help - first timer that would really like to be able to wear a tank top again 😅🫠 I did join the BFRB support group but unfortunately will be on a night shift this week when it meets . Thank you in advance ❤️

Hi wonderful people. I hope you’re all doing well. This isn’t a specifically OCD rant but it is related and I was wondering if anyone had any advice or insights. I desperately want an ESA. College has been literally the first time in my life where Im not around some sort of pet 24/7- we always had at least 1 cat and or dog, usually 2 of each. I rely on my furbabies a lot for emotional support and not having them the last few years in college has been excruciating. I know how silly this sounds and Ive been angry with myself for getting so worked up over it. But lately every dream Ive had for the last 3 months (i wish I was kidding) is about getting an animal, interacting with an animal, petting an animal, caring for an animal, etc. I would likely already have a pet with me (my cat Monster) if it wasnt for the fact my roommate is deathly allergic to cats. I couldn’t ask for a better roommate so I’d rather not move. So I did research on rats and did the math on all the financials (vet bills included) and I was really interested in talking to my landlord. But my mom vetoed the idea because during summers they would be at their home with me, and she thinks its unethical to keep cats and dogs with small animals in the same home, which I understand but is frustrating. I wanted to start petsitting for my neighbors but my mom also vetoed that because they’re strangers. Ive tried volunteering but no places nearby are accepting volunteers with my schedule, I even tried coaxing the outdoor/stray cats over on my afternoon walks and they want nothing to do with me (understandable, honestly.) I know this is such a first world problem and I shouldnt be this worked up over it but I cant stop obsessing and thinking and wanting an ESA to help out with the stress of everything. When I was growing up I had 2 guinea pigs who really helped with my OCD flare ups and knowing they felt safe made me felt safe, and my cat always comes over to cuddle while Im sad. I really want that again. Thanks for listening, apologies for the long and slightly off topic rant. If anyone has any advice it would be so appreciated.
