honestly, i dont think BFRBs are talked about enough in the mental health world. i can understand the hesitation and the nervousness to a degree, because sometimes the aftermath of it can be not too easy to look at, but its still important to address it.

ive never said this publicly before, but i have dermatillomania, rhinotillexomania, and onychotillomania. these disorders are something i have to live with in my daily life, but them not being talked about more made it take years to find out my compulsive behaviors had actual names and werent just me being weird or gross.

yeah, i pick at my skin sometimes. i mess with my scalp, my fingers, my lips, but that doesnt make me a disgusting person, especially since i have almost no control over my compulsions. sometimes i pick my nose to the point of nosebleeds because my anxiety can and will push me that far. its extremely important to remember that i dont have much control over these behaviors. many people with BFRBs have very little control over their compulsions.

its important to remember that we exist and deserve help, even if our scars or behaviors make you think that we're disgusting.

Thinking about,,, my f/o's reaching to grab my hand when they see any of my bfrbs starting

[if-i-am-not-for-me]

12 days without pulling eyelashes. Literally haven't gone this long without caving to the trichotillomania in almost 20 years. The physical sensation that makes me want to pull lashes is so strong.

My little cousin recently started pulling her eyelashes and eyebrows. I desperately want to be an example for her to break this habit before it becomes compulsive.
