I feel like BFRB’s are REALLY common despite being so stigmatized, and I wanted to see how many of you are out there :)

brfb culture is wanting to pop any raised bump anywhere on your body even if its not acne

bfrb's are so funny, like "you perceive a flaw? make it worse." ok cool, thanks. impeccable logic there. this will absolutely not cause potentially life long problems.

"Trichotillomania isn’t just pulling hair—it’s a complex response to stress, emotion, or even boredom. Healing starts with compassion and small steps toward understanding the patterns behind the urge." ______ The Trichotillomania Workbook !

depression has been me convinced that I don’t have the time or energy to take 5 minutes to wash my face but I have no problem picking at my face for an hour at a time…. make it make sense????

Super awesome thing about derma is how it’ll take you way longer to get ready bc every time you look in the mirror you can’t stop yourself from popping one or more of your acne spots and then you have to hold a bit of paper towel to it for like 5-10 minutes to stop the bleeding, and if you didn’t get them all at once, once you’re done dealing with one round, you go back to the mirror to try getting ready again, and the cycle repeats 🥲
