Trichotillomania sucks y'all ✌️

Things I've been doing to keep myself from feeling numb

- buying a new soap with a scent I like so I have something to feel happy about every time I wash my hands

- trying to read, convincing myself just to read a page, which then usually turns into more

- listening to music and forcing myself to sing however bad I feel, it's quite difficult to feel numb when you're singing Christmas songs

- having baths with really strong smelling products, so I can enjoy the smell, and keep smelling it afterwards

- drinking really sweet hot chocolate

- buying cheap comfy clothes that I can wear on days im not up for properly getting dressed, and finding something positive about them - I bought a new hoody and I love the autumn colour of it

- wearing jewelry I don't usually wear

- covering myself in very soft blankets

Feel free to add!

If anyone knows how to stop yourself feeling unloveable let me know

The romantic part of me is longing to be in a relationship but the feminist part of me will not let my success and happiness in life be determined by a man

Always put your health first. Do your best to help online, and not in person.

Really appreciate this xx

Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and think I don’t know what kind of vibes I’m giving off right now but they’re fucking immaculate

I’m feeling so conflicted at the moment there are black lives matter protests happening near me and obviously I desperately want to attend to do all I can as a white person to help the movement. However I am asthmatic and worried about the coronavirus as my local area has a very high infection rate at the moment. But then I see people protesting despite because systematic racism doesn’t stop because of a pandemic. I know there are ways I can help without physically protesting but I feel so useless and as if I’m putting my own life ahead of those who’s we are protesting to save.

script from @bluecollarbabe1 on instagram. even if you can't protest, you can still be heard. use your voice. do something.

TEXT:

To whom it may concern:

I am writing you about the murder of George Floyd by MPD officers Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao. These men were not upholding the law, they were committing murder and terrorizing their community. Being fired is not an appropriate response to the crime. All officers must be charged with murder.

We cannot continue this way. This is not the way forward. Use your station and power for change; for good. Give a voice to the smothered. Prove that all lives matter. Do your job.

[email protected]

When the streets clear and the ashes fade, George Floyd will not be forgotten. The events transpiring may very well be plastered into history books. The world is watching. My generation will not fail to tell our children exactly what happened. Your actions now will cement how you are remembered. If you stand up and act, you will be remembered for your bravery, choosing to enact justice. If not, history will sneer at your cowardice. The choice is yours.

Sitting outside making embroidery Christmas decorations and listening to Harry styles? Umm it’s a vibe

[trichybitch]

So on the recurring theme of things I do to stop myself pulling my hair, I have now taken up embroidery and I’m addicted. 100% recommend for anyone with trich or if you’re just looking for a new hobby

[trichybitch]

While I’ve been trying to improve my mental health and general attitude towards myself one of the hardest things to unlearn has been the ‘Put Others before yourself’ attitude we were taught as children.

This was drilled into me at school and at home for as long as I can remember and I don’t think it was done with bad intent just with bad forethought. Of course it’s important to teach children to think of others and be inclusive rather than self centered. However there is a limit.

I struggle so much to care for myself but I worry and care about those around me who I shouldn’t have too such as my parents. However much I’ve been told that I don’t need to it’s only just starting to sink in.

So for anyone who needs to hear it the world will not end if you put yourself first. People will still love you. If someone gets annoyed by you putting yourself first for once, they are the problem not you. You deserve to take care of yourself and it’s not always easy but in the end it’s always worth it.

[trichybitch]

I’m trying so hard at the minute to appreciate the good things in life however little or insignificant they are so here’s to nice cups of coffee and getting a seat on the train

🌹 a flower for everyone not feeling their best today
