Shoutout to people with trichotillomania. People with bald spots. People with patchy or no eyebrows. People with thin or no lashes. People with sores on their faces, their scalps, their legs, their arms, or everywhere. People who pull consciously, subconsciously, or both. People who can't swim or wear certain clothes because of trichotillomania. People whose trichotillomania causes them pain. People whose trichotillomania doesn't. People who pull 24/7, people who don't or barely pull anymore. People who want to get better and people who don't. People who visibly have it and people who don't. People who are open about their trichotillomania, and people who aren't. You're doing amazing however you handle it. You are beautiful regardless of your hair and how you feel about it. You are beautiful regardless your urges. You are beautiful and worthy of love. I'm proud of you.

The urge to tell someone about how badly I want to pull my hair back but it’s too short and knowing that if I do the only response I will get is going to be about how it’s my fault that it’s this short and that if I had just listened and not pulled my hair it would’ve been down my back by now

Reblog this if you want to show trichotillomania awareness!

I wish wigs were more comfortable. Maybe in the winter they won’t be as hot. But I wish I could wear them more often. Just to have the feeling of long, fresh hair again. Wigs let me feel free just for a little while.

I haven't posted on this account in some time. I hope you all are doing the best you can in this world of chaos.

I was perusing Facebook, and a suggested shop came up. It had spooky plushies for zodiac, mental illnesses and the like.

How cute! I need them all!

So I started scrolling to check them all out, and I came across something very unique.

A trichotilomania plushie.

A FUN THING REPRESENTING US.

WE WERE REPRESENTED.

WE WERE THOUGHT OF, SHARED, AND LOVED.

I cried.

And then I openly wepped because it's sold out. SOLD OUT.

Good for you, #PlushieDreadfuls

Thank you. 💚

i don’t think people will ever realise how serious, dehabilitating, draining ocd is.

it’s not all about lining things up and washing your hands

it’s about the convincing yourself you’re something awful.

compulsions that are time consuming and draining.

it’s the constant worry you’ve done or said something to offend someone.

it’s the co morbid disorders like trichotillomania, misophonia and more just draining you more.

it’s the constant “just rights”.

it’s the permanent engraved intrusive thoughts that are constantly replaying.

it’s the constant seeking reassurance.

it’s about living in fear because you’re so scared you’ll act out on an intrusive thought.

it’s the constant dread and anxiety.

so so many more.

why, what and how would you want this disorder

why are you romanticising this
