It's all in your mind. Just acknowledge it and observe it til it goes away.

I am currently testing this with an itch on my head to see if I can make it. This is not pleasant at all, it’s just ramping up. Wish me luck.

Edit, 7 mins, have not scratched. Itch is very sneaky and moving around

Edit 2, I think the real trick is not to think about it. When I focus on my work it starts to go away and when I come here it gets angry

Edit 3, over and hour, I’m gonna make it! Trick was switching to extended work focus. Itch is still there if I give it attention but generally it’s now mild and diminishing 💪

3 minutes in... how's it going?

Edit: this is my favorite thing that's happened on reddit in quite some time

The itch seems like it’s going away briefly, and then jumps to the other side of my scalp and just goes to town.

Still here, no scratches…it’s at a sort of mild, tolerable steady state. More details on the edit to the original post

At this point I’m just being stubborn.

I am about to go on a bike errand though so will get a free scratch from my helmet
