excuse you, that’s MY emotional support skin picking disorder (the emotion it supports is shame and anger and hate)

[sabertoothwalrus]

if you have trichotillomania I love you and I am kissing your bald spots

[laureala]

bfrbs feel so out of body. it’s like you're detached watching your hands destroy yourself until some subconscious part of your brain decides it’s satisfied. and u can never really avoid the triggers it is literally your own skin

[paracosmicka]

They should invent a new kind of body that doesn’t make scabs and the bits of dead skin so peelable

Me: I’m gonna try going to sleep a lil earlier tonight, I’m feeling pretty sleepy anyway

Yes, that’s right! Your favorite character has a BFRB!

(but cross, what is a BFRB?)

A BFRB, or Body Focused Repetitive Behavior, is a condition in which people will do things that unintentionally harm their body. Common BFRBs include:

Dermatillomania (picking at skin)

Trichotillomania (pulling at hair)

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

Crepitus (Chronic finger joint cracking)

Dermatophagia (skin biting)

Finger Sucking (No “name” as far as I’m aware?)

Lip Bite Keratosis (lip biting)

Morsicatio Buccarum (cheek biting)

Onychophagia (nail biting)

Onychotillomania (picking at your nails, as well as the skin around your nails)

Rhinotillexomania (nose picking)

Mucophagia (mucus eating, particularly from the nose)

Trichophagia (hair eating)

Morsicatio labiorum (inner lip biting)

Morsicatio linguarum (tongue biting)

Trichotemnomania (hair cutting)

Trichoteiromania (hair rubbing)

Mucus fishing syndrome, (removing strands of mucus from the eye)

Trichorhizophagia (eating the root of the hair)

Trichodaganomania (hair biting)

(Thank you to @dpdr-n-more--archive for sharing with me more kinds of bfrbs!)

I made this blog because A. I love projecting onto my blorbos, and B. I never see anyone talk about bfrbs, I didn’t even know I had one until a few days ago. Im hoping maybe this will get people talking about this? :3

DNI: proship, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, terf/radfem, pro-ai, pro-israel, 18+/kink blogs (the owner of this acc is a minor)

Please request any character you’d like! You can specify what type of BFRB, but that is not required! Also, I will only use the standard BFRB flag since most of these do not have their own flag and I am not skilled when it comes to flag making lol.

Please do not request Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss! Also, no real people! (However, if they played a fictional character that works! (ex; Hugh Jackman is not allowed but Wolverine is)
