HE THAT LOVES PLEASURE MUST FOR PLEASURE FALL

Dermatillomania and trichotillomania are impulse control disorders that involve compulsive skin-picking or hair-pulling, respectively. They are classified as Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs).

Read on for more information on these little-known illnesses…

this includes: people who pick at their skin or pull out their hair (dermatillomania and trichotillomania respectively), people who wash their hands compulsively, people who self-harm in any way.

i love you and i’m here for you when your hairdresser asks why you have a bald spot, when you can’t bring yourself to put on a bikini in case it reveals your scabs, when you realise your hands are bleeding in a public place.

In an age where mental disorders are finally given well deserved study and attention that they should be getting, you’re pretty much left in the dust. Maybe just sit on your hands or play with a ball or something? We don’t know.

‘’Why don’t you just stop pulling your hair?’’ wow Cynthia I never thought about that

Good luck finding any awareness, or anyone who’s ever heard of it in general. 

Good luck finding treatment options and coping devices as well.

Ah yes, because of literally no one talking about it, you grow up with your parents being ashamed and disgusted by you. Also, them refusing to understand or believe what you tell them.

‘’You’ve been picking again, haven’t you??’’

Having your hair grabbed and checked by your mother.

‘’So why don’t you have any eyelashes?’’

No ‘’brows on fleek’’ here

Your mother going through wastebaskets and finding hair and questioning you about it. Same with vacuum cleaners. 

People seeing you pull and asking you why and being quite rude.

Fear of someday having another bald spot.

Hairdresser terror.

Raw eyes where your lashes should be and bleeding where your pubic hair should be.

Lifesaving bangs.

NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THAT /ONE/ EYELASH AND PULLING YOUR EYELID UNTIL IT GETS RAW

ok it’s just a pet peeve of mine but I really hate those edits people do of celebrities or just people in general where they edit off their eyebrows. I know it seems harmless to people, but for someone like me it’s basically just saying. ‘’Look at what an ugly freak you are in society’s viewpoint.’’

The shame beanie when you can’t stop pulling

Having new bleeding each time you go to the bathroom because you just can’t stop pulling ingrown hairs for some reason

Having a ‘’gross’’ condition that can in no way be sugar coated or romanticized as in any way beautiful, so no one talks about it. 

Once again the shame from having a ‘’gross’’ condition. 

Why are there so many hairballs everywhere did I do this

The last time I had a bald spot was when I was about eleven or twelve I think?? But I couldn’t go into public without a bobby pin pulling hair over it and my mom was so upset the entire time I had it. It wasn’t just the fact of the shame of what it looked like. It got sunburned and there were open sores ok.

WHEN NO PENCIL, STENCIL OR WAX SET WILL GIVE YOU NATURAL LOOKING BROWS

Trichotillomania is a nightmarish condition and the suffers get little to no awareness or help.

               Though I’ve only had this blog for three years this July, I’ve actually being playing Sookie a couple of years longer than I have been in the indie community. I started out in an rpg where it was suggested to me that I should play Sookie because she was much needed. I knew nothing about the roleplaying community at all and was scared to death about joining. I chose Sookie mainly because it was a suggestion but the more I wrote her, the better I got, and she has always been my main muse. It has been extremely rare that I lost muse for her, and it never lasted long. She’s apart of me now and I want to thank everyone for letting her be apart of you, too, by writing with me and coming up with headcanons and just gushing about her or our character’s relationship.

               I would like to thank each and every single one of you, whether you are on the list below or not, for taking a chance in Sookie as well as me and wanting to write with me. It means a lot every time I see a message in my inbox, a reply to a thread, a follow, a like on my starter calls, everything. It means you want to write with me and that means more than I can ever really say. You all mean so much to me. On bad days when I want to get lost in my writing and block everything else in the world out, you have all been here for me. I have made some great friends during my time here writing. Some come and go, some have remained and I don’t know what I would do without any of you. You are all terrific writers who portray your muses, whether canon or oc, beautifully. Please never doubt your ability to write. I understand insecurities but I know you are all strong enough to prevail through them. You have people all around you who love you and want to write with you.

               Before I started the list, I want to do a shout out to the people that I consider best friends of mine. I wouldn’t get through most days without you loves whether you know it or not - Rii, Max, Char, Gabbi, Tess, & Shay  ♥
