You stand at a crossroads. Three roads stretch before you — On the left, you see a cloaked figure in red waiting in the middle of the road, on the right, a rough looking scavenger awaits you. In the middle, a black birds cocks its head in anticipation.
Who do you approach?
the red priest
the survivor
the crow
You can also try to find your own way through the forest...

Hi, I just landed on your recent post about dermatillomania and was so happy to finally hear the experience of someone else going through the disorder! I’ve had it for more than a year now and thought maybe we could help each other out, because we’d probably understand our state of mind better than any therapist?
I dont want to rush you into sharing something you’re not comfortable with, so feel free to not answer my ask !!
But yeah I’d be really happy to hear from you, you seem really cool
Hey there thank you for this kind ask :)) Of course I can talk a little about my experience with dermatillomania!!
So without disclosing any diagnoses of mine I'd like to start this off by saying I have always been a very anxious kid and later young adult. I had all the fun symptoms anxious children have and I think I started skin picking when I finally managed to stop nail biting at age 14-ish?
Ever since then I have had periods of excessive skin picking, usually in the summer, when I see my bare legs and get inspired to ✨️scratch them open✨️
I have some hacks and I still get lost in subconsciously picking my skin and I feel super ashamed and guilty afterwards but I think it's important to accept and acknowledge you have a problem. Try not to blame yourself or get angry for being stuck in a neurological habit loop - this is not a lack of willpower thing!!!
To dismantle the loop, an intervention is needed at multiple stages! This means pritecting your skin physically, modyfying your environment and substituting behaviour.
These are my little life hacks:
wear long pants/ sleeves (if the weather allows it) to make you forget about your skin and possible wounds because that traps you in a cycle of scratching/picking and not letting the wounds heal etc
wear white to be less inclined to pick since the blood shows more than on other colours and is hard to get out (you don't want to ruin a pretty piece of clothing, do you? - don't blame yourself if you still do, it's hard not to pick)
get fidget toys and keep your hands busy constantly!! Place multiple fidget toys in various locations so you have access to them at all times
tell the people you live with to call you out when they notice you picking your skin
talk to a professional and look into cbt, hrt or act (therapy options for this disorder in particular)
exfoliate your skin (and, this might be a bad tip, get rid of leg hair if you feel the urge to start ripping out hair so you don't fall into the trichotillomania trap)
use pimple patches!! Get cheap ones so you don't feel bad about "wasting" them and stick them on blemishes and spots so you can't access them. For wounds on your legs or arms use band-aids!!
don't look into magnifying mirrors and limit mirror time all together! Set a timer if you must but don't get carried away examining your skin because you will notice every little spot inviting you to pick
It's a process and healing is not linear, this goes for dermatillomania too :) cut yourself some slack and be kind to yourself since shame and guilt will only make you feel worse.
I hope this answer helped you or anyone who is reading this post a little if only by making you feel less alone <3
Closest to Sansa’s own age were the cousins Elinor, Alla, and Megga, Tyrells from junior branches of the House. “Roses from lower on the bush,” quipped Elinor, who was witty and willowy. Megga was round and loud, Alla shy and pretty, but Elinor ruled the three by right of womanhood; she was a maiden flowered, whereas Megga and Alla were mere girls.

the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole

Rhaena Targaryen, on the day of her marriage to her uncle Maegor Targaryen.
i finally drew my goat! rhaena's headdress here was meant to be a reflection of dreamfyre, and i imagine visenya and maegor have had this one ready ever since she bonded with her.
today on sasa learns how to draw, i attempted a new style heavily inspired by one of my favourite artists @spiiicysoda !
Like what do you mean as soon as you feel any emotion good or bad you can't stop picking at your skin and now it‘s 30 degrees outside but you can't wear short pants because your legs are a bloody mess

Sometimes someone likes old art of me and I used to cringe when getting the notif (I say used to but that was literally a month ago) but now I decided on just being happy someone liked my art :))) like hey! I made that!
Looking back and thinking it's bad just shows how much I've improved and how far I've come and one day I will redraw that one horrible art that apparently everyone here loves and maybe you guys will like it even more :)
