[rottenwolf]

Got so stressed I dug my skin raw ripping eyebrow hair out. I just started growing them back real good too!

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

Possessing the 1P nations can make the 2P nations pretty sick… consider it like an advanced, interdimensional form of jetlag. There’s a variety of side effects, and some are more unpleasant than others. 

SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE NAUSEA, BODY ACHES, HOMESICKNESS, CONFUSION, HALLUCINATIONS, DISSOCIATION, HALLUCINATIONS, HALLUCINATIONS, HALLUCINATIONS

[ID: Digital art of Gwen Bouchard and Mr Bonzo from The Magnus Protocol. Gwen is a slender Black woman with chin length textured hair worn half-up, half-down. She wears a collared shirt under a jumper with the sleeves rolled up, a leather messenger bag over her shoulder. She holds out an unmarked envelope to Mr Bonzo with a look of abject terror on her face. Mr Bonzo is a very tall decaying mascot creature, mostly a dirty yellow with large purplish pustules across his body. His nose has rotted away to reveal a dripping nasal cavity underneath, his eyes are bloodshot and lidless with eerie glowing red pupils, and his smile is wet with black, ichorous drool. There is a bright yellow light illuminating him from behind, but hardly any of it reaches Gwen in his shadow. Superimposed over the image and scrawled on the wall behind them are the words “Mr Bonzo’s on his way/He’s here to stay, he wants to play” repeatedly. End ID.]

the stigma and ableism towards mental health struggles like self harm, eating/feeding, substance use, and body-focused repetitive behavior disorders is incredibly frustrating and cruel. people aren't immoral for having behavior based health problems. it's not their fault they're struggling, and even if they're doing bad things, they still need help and support.

Here’s some positivity for systems with body focused repetitive behaviors!

Body focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting can make life difficult for many systems. It can be a struggle learning to live and cope with behaviors that are challenging to control which ultimately cause harm to the system’s body! We hope that every system with BFRBs can find hope, peace, and recovery in their futures. And this post is for you!

🌟 Shoutout to traumagenic systems whose BFRBs are rooted in the trauma which causes their system to develop!

🌿 Shoutout to systems who are getting help with their BFRBs, whether it be from a therapist, support network, or something else!

💠 Shoutout to systems who have formed alters or headmates whose role is to help manage their BFRBs!

☘️ Shoutout to systems who use stim toys to redirect their BFRBs in positive or healthy ways!

✨ Shoutout to systems who try to educate others and spread awareness about BFRBs!

🌱 Shoutout to systems whose BFRBs are caused by neurodiversity, be it OCD, ADHD, autism, anxiety, or another neurodivergence!

🦋 Shoutout to systems who have split a new member as a result of pain or trauma caused from their own BFRBs!

💚 Shoutout to systems who have been told that they are weird, gross, or off-putting by others due to the BFRBs which are outside of their control!

🌙 Shoutout to headmates who are symptom holders for their system’s BFRBs!

If you or a member of your system struggles with BFRBs, we want to let you know that we feel for you. We hope that learning to manage these behaviors gets easier for your system with time, and you are able to find peace and happiness in your futures. Know that you’re not wrong or bad for struggling with BFRBs! You’re still special and lovely just the way you are.

Please do your best to treat yourself and your system with gentleness and compassion today. Rest assured, you are loved and you are a cherished member of both your system and the plural community as a whole! Our spaces simply would not be the same without you here. We hope that you can take it easy and have a lovely day today!
