I like the soreness after waxing as much as I like pinpoint bleeding.

It’s as if I hope the follicles are damaged enough that the hairs won’t grow back, and it usually takes much longer for them to grow back, but I haven’t had permanent hair loss from waxing.

I used to think I would never consider s_icide over a relationship or romantic feelings.

I thought I wouldn’t care very much. I would be independent and go on living. I’d love myself more.

Easier said than done when you’ve never loved someone that way, with no hope of being together.

A guest at my workplace told me my hair is beautiful.

It’s a wig, but I’ll take the compliment! 💕

[justachickwithtrich]

I’m still full of horrible fears including “someone will know I’m wearing a wig” or “I can’t let anyone touch my head” or “will he still like me if he finds out?”

It would be so easy for me to become a hermit again. School is forcing me outside, and I attended a party for the first time, but I can’t shake this.

This one young woman who was actually being nice to me slapped me on top of my head during lunch. She probably didn’t feel much, but fuckkkkkkkk have you heard of BOUNDARIES you stupid bitch

Who does that?

Reblog and put in the tags the dumbest way you lost a friend.

Someone on r/trichotillomania asked if they could pull hair to relieve anxiety. 🥺

It won’t relieve anxiety. It‘s never relieved mine. It only delays it and can make anxiety worse over time.

making fun of someone’s appearance is never okay, even if you’re shaming people you don’t like. shame them for their actions, not their looks.

it’s so easy to say something negative about someone’s appearance and it can so easily end up with someone close to you with those features hearing that, and they now know that you think they’re ugly.

i’ve seen a lot of posts about making fun of bald people lately. there are so many reasons to why someone is bald, and many times it isn’t just people shaving their heads for fun;

- taking hormones

- medical treatments

- disabilities

- mental illnesses

- medications

- stress

etc.

these are some examples to why someone is experiencing hair loss or becoming completely bald.

stop making fun of people’s appearances.

People who grew up in toxic families are the kings of acting like nothing traumatic happened the next day

[justabittraumatized]

craving your parents’s love and validation, but realizing that for that to ever happen you will have to give up your entire being and what defines you. It’s like a pact with the devil that’s doomed to end miserably: exchange your soul for the bare minimum

Exercising daily, even if it’s a necessary walk from point A to point B, helps me go to sleep at night.

If I don’t, I feel like I’ve drunk a cappuccino at midnight (when I haven’t had caffeine all day).

It’s still not foolproof, but it can help.

I love biking and I’m not stoked about winter. I might want one of those winter bikes.

Speaking calmly to myself after late night snacks:

I was physically hungry

My mind makes me think it was WAY more than it was

It wasn't a binge, I was in control

I enjoyed my snacks and am not over full

I will sleep better without hunger pangs

It’s 3am and I have to be up at 6am.

the thing about insomnia is that everyone always assumes the worst thing about it is being tired. that is not the case. the tired part makes sense and can be adapted to and dealt with. you don't sleep, you get tired. thems the breaks.

spending hours on end trying and failing to force yourself to be unconscious on a regular basis makes you weird in ways indescribable.

I've got all my fun brain foibles pretty well mapped out but lying prone staring into the dark attempting to be less alive than I am right now AS A NIGHTLY EXERCISE will drive even the blandest most neurotypical human being stark raving bonkers

I hate how movies/shows depict people swallowing pills with no water. Or one gulp. 💧 ☠️

I tried to take a pill with a small drink of water a few nights ago and nearly choked because the pill got stuck inside my neck. 😭 (I immediately needed more water and some food to ensure it went down correctly.)

I’m doing my best to wet the path with water beforehand, have lots of water ready, and a small piece of bread from now on.

I don’t think you can actually pull out a follicle.

You can damage a follicle, certainly. You can injure it so much that it stops producing hair.

The wet jelly thing on the hair isn’t the follicle tho. That’s the bulb/root. The follicle is the tiny hole inside your skin that the hair grows from.
