It's a Trichy situation

This blog is dedicated to Trichotillomania, an impulsive control disorder that gives you an uncontrollable impulse to pull out your hair. This is just a place for me to talk freely about my disorder, but also to give support to other Trichsters. My ask box is always open and i'd love to talk to you guys. :)

Trichotillomania sucks because no matter how ‘recovered’ you are it’s a disorder you have for life, I’m in a new environment where nobody knows about me having it and I feel like I can’t tell people because they just don’t get it, it sounds like a weird habit or something that’s not as utterly dark and soul destroying as it is. The disorder part of trichotillomania doesn’t just come from the act of pulling, but how it consumes you, how it puts you in a spaced out trance, how it makes you physically unable to do anything with your hands, the guilt, the physical pain, the anxiety and tightness you feel, the days or weeks or months it’s at the forefront of your mind, one of the only things you can think about which completely disrupts your day to day life, on bad days you feel like a zombie completely chained to your impulse, a prisoner to it, you feel sick. And yet if I ever bring up the word trichotillomania barely anyone has heard of it, it’s not a disorder where people go “oh shit that’s awful” because they don’t know anything about it, and if they do they could never understand it. It has little representation, I feel embarrassed and alone with it. It’s a weight I will always carry around and it’s relapses fucking sting.

I don’t hate myself, but I hate my disorder, and sometimes the line between them gets so blurred. I get disgusted and angry and exhausted, but I gotta remember it’s not me. It’s not me.

“Why don’t you just Stop picking?”

Because dermatillomania is Like getting a blackout. It starts with accidently running your finger across a bump, a flake of dry skin or a scab and as soon as the nail gets underneath, everything turns black. The World stops spinning. The clock stops ticking. No one exists and no sounds Can be heard. You forget everything. Every sad thing that ever happend to you and every good thing. Absoloutly no thoughts runs through your head and nothing matters. A blackout. A blackout Usually lasting 5 minutes. and 5 minutes later you Will Slowly get your senses back. Sounds Slowly gets Louder and Louder and your sight get Brighter and you find yourself in front of the bathroom mirror, covered in blood and skin.

Reminder that there’s a difference between occasionally playing with your hair when you’re nervous for something like a test or something big and having Trichotillomania

When you think it’s gone and then it comes back to attack you, Agh

Sometimes I just wanna feel normal and not be the only one in the room battling a fucking tiring fight with my hair looking like a weirdo and being physically in pain from it
