My Freaky Fred Headcanons

Fred is Pansexual

His obsession on cutting hair could be from trichotemnomania or he has OCD

He is raised by Muriel's sister Dorothy

As an adult, he was sent to his aunt Muriel by Dorothy to be taken care of from his obsession

He is really fond with animals, mostly dogs and rodents

Since his obsession started happening when he got his pet hamster, he was a teen when it happened

His mother loved him dearly, but she stayed away from him due to his obsession. He even tried to cut her hair off

He likes classical music from 1870s-80s

He met Barbara as a child and dated her as an adult. Unfortunately it came to an end thanks to him cutting all of her hair off

When he replied to Muriel, asking about what brought him here. he said 'holiday.' However, this could be a lie since he was in the barbers home for life but he had a chance of parole, since he is left out because his behaviour calmed down

Everyone is shown to be afraid of him, except for Muriel because she is very loving to him and Eustace because he finds him as a freak

Courage's enemies don't show fear against him either, though still intimidating them with his unsettling smile and they all despise him since Fred doesn't show hate against Courage

Fred is sentimental with children, helping them out does keep him out of his hair obsession

จะรู้ได้อย่างไรว่า พฤติกรรมแบบไหนเข้าข่าย BFRBs

จุดสำคัญที่แนะนำให้สังเกตก็คือ บริเวณร่างกายและอวัยวะที่มักจะเกิดพฤติกรรมย้ำทำ ซึ่งบ่งชี้ถึงอาการ BFRBs ได้ โดยแบ่งออกเป็นกลุ่มโรคที่เกี่ยวข้อง ดังนี้

(1) ผิวหนัง: จิก แกะ บีบ เกาผิวหนังตำแหน่งเดิม ติดต่อกันเป็นเวลานานนับเดือนหรือนับปี จนผิวถลอกเป็นแผลตกสะเก็ดเรื้อรัง มักเกิดขึ้นเฉพาะจุดที่มีสิว ตุ่ม ผื่น หรือหนังด้าน เช่น ใบหน้า แผ่นหลัง ปาก แขน ขา ฝ่ามือ ฝ่าเท้า และหนังศีรษะ ทางการแพทย์เรียกอาการนี้ว่า โรคแกะผิวหนัง (Excoriation Disorder, Dermatillomania, Skin Picking Disorder) เป็นโรคที่พบในผู้หญิงมากกว่าผู้ชาย

(2) ขน: ดึงและถอนขนตามส่วนต่างๆ ทั่วร่างกายซ้ำๆ ทำให้ขนบริเวณนั้นบางลงหรือแหว่งเป็นหย่อมโดยเฉพาะเส้นผม ซึ่งเป็นจุดที่เกิดขึ้นบ่อยกว่าตำแหน่งอื่น ช่วงอายุที่โรคดึงผมตัวเอง (Trichotillomania, Hair Pulling Disorder) มักจะเริ่มแสดงอาการให้เห็น คือ วัยรุ่น บางคนอาจใช้กรรไกร มีดโกน หรือปัตตาเลี่ยนตัดและเล็มผมจนสั้นเกรียน (Trichotemnomania)

(3) นิ้วมือและเล็บ: พฤติกรรมกัดเล็บและขบนิ้ว (Onychophagia, Nail Biting) ในผู้ใหญ่ส่วนมากเป็นอาการต่อเนื่องที่แก้ไม่หายตั้งแต่เด็ก มักจะเกิดร่วมกับอาการอื่นๆ อย่างนอนกัดฟัน (Bruxism) บางรายรุนแรงถึงขั้นแทะผิวรอบเล็บและมือ (Dermatophagia) จนฉีกขาดและมีเลือดออก

(4) ปาก: พฤติกรรมกัดกระพุ้งแก้ม (Morsicatio Buccarum, Cheek Biting, Cheek Chewing) กัดเคี้ยวลิ้น (Tongue Chewing) และกัดริมฝีปากด้านใน (Morsicatio Labiorum) ต่างจากพฤติกรรมลอกริมฝีปากแห้งแตกและกัดริมฝีปากด้านนอก (Lip Bite Keratosis) ตรงที่ ตำแหน่งของแผล เพราะแผลร้อนในหลบซ่อนอยู่ภายในช่องปาก จึงสังเกตได้ยากกว่า

(5) จมูก: ไชและแคะจมูก (Rhinotillexomania, Compulsive Nose Picking) พฤติกรรมนี้ไม่ได้เกิดขึ้นตอนที่มีขี้มูกติดค้างอยู่ภายในรูจมูกเท่านั้น แม้รูจมูกจะสะอาดดี ไม่มีทั้งขี้มูกและน้ำมูก ก็ห้ามตัวเองไม่ได้ ต้องล้วงแคะรูจมูกเพื่อความสบายใจ กลายเป็นสร้างความระคายเคืองให้เยื่อบุรูจมูกโดยใช่เหตุ

(6) ตา: จะส่องกระจกทุกครั้งที่รู้สึกระคายตา พอเห็นว่ามีขี้ตาลักษณะยาวเป็นเส้นสีขาวขุ่นอมเหลืองติดอยู่ตัวตา จึงใช้นิ้วเปล่าหรือคอตตอนบัดพยายามเขี่ยออกมา เป็นอาการของพฤติกรรมเขี่ยเมือกในตา (Mucus Fishing Syndrome) หลังจากได้ทำก็รู้สึกว่าสบายตาขึ้นมาก แต่หารู้ไม่ว่า จะยิ่งทำให้ตาผลิตเมือกเพื่อป้องกันสิ่งสกปรก และเพิ่มความเสี่ยงทำให้ตาแห้งและติดเชื้อได้

จิตแพทย์และนักจิตวิทยาคลินิกเคยเชื่อว่า BFRBs หรือ พฤติกรรมย้ำทำ เป็นอาการของกลุ่มโรควิตกกังวล พฤติกรรมหุนหันพลันแล่น ขาดความยับยั้งชั่งใจ คล้ายกับคนที่เสพติดอะไรบางอย่าง เช่น การพนัน และโรคย้ำคิดย้ำทำ (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) ทำให้เกิดความเข้าใจคลาดเคลื่อนว่า คนที่มีพฤติกรรมย้ำทำเท่ากับเป็นโรคย้ำคิดย้ำทำเสมอ ซึ่งไม่ถูกต้อง เพราะปัจจุบัน แต่ละโรคมีเกณฑ์วินิจฉัยเป็นของตัวเอง แม้จะมีลักษณะอาการคล้ายคลึงกันไปบ้าง แต่ไม่นับว่าเป็นโรคเดียวกัน

ในหมู่คนที่รู้ตัวเองว่ามีพฤติกรรมย้ำทำ พวกเขาจะพยายามลด ละ เลิกพฤติกรรมเหล่านั้นเองก่อน แต่มักไม่สำเร็จ เพราะทุกครั้งที่เครียดหรือกังวล จะย้อยนึกถึงแต่ความรู้สึกดีเมื่อได้แคะ แกะ เการ่างกาย จนเกิดเป็นความโหยหา แล้วกลับมาทำพฤติกรรมเดิม ซึ่งเป็นผลจากการเรียนรู้วางเงื่อนไขพฤติกรรมของสมองด้วย เมื่อทำแล้วรู้สึกคลายเครียด ยิ่งเครียดก็จะยิ่งทำ หากไม่ทำจะยิ่งเครียดนั่นเอง…หวยลาว

Dermatophagia/Dermatillomania Stim Tip

I went to the lake today and brought snacks with me, one of them being grapes and oh my god I think I've found a stim that replicates dermatophagia/dermatillomania in a way in which I haven't seen before. I usually see tips like "rip up pieces of paper! Try chewing gum!" And im sure those are great for some people but they don't give me the same feeling that peeling away skin does. AND the glue thing! Peeling dry glue off your hands is fun but if you're feeling the urge to pick all the time, it isn't really all that practical to be covered in wet/dry glue all the time. If you're compelled to bite and peel at your skin/lips or whatever, get some grapes and peel them!

The skin of a grape is very similar to human skin in the way it peels and its a pretty satisfying tactile feel to peel away a big section of the skin in one go. I mostly use my teeth and bite the skin that was connected to the stem and peel up as much of it as I can before eating it. I also tried using my nails to peel it and see what that was like and it was also a similar feeling I get when picking, but I think this might work more as a dermatophagia stim (it still won't hurt to try it out for dermatillomania though!)

Grapes aren't really my favorite fruit, but having a way to peel something with my teeth that isn't my skin is a win for them in my book. I know the skin is like the least appeeling (haha it's a pun that works on two levels!) part of the fruit but I still ate it by itself cause I don't really care. If you don't want to eat grape skins, then you could also get a bowl to spit them out in/throw them away (don't feel like you're gross for doing this if you don't want to eat the yucky part, I don't think it's gross if it's something you're doing alone or even around others if it's for the betterment of your health) and then you'll get to eat a tasty, juicy grape without all the annoying skin. I think thats a pretty good reward for not picking/peeling yourself

I havent tried this with other fruits or foods but leave your recommendations for other things that can be useful like this if you know of any! Something something twizzlers and pulling apart things or something, you know like that. Happy healing, and remember that your BFRBs don't define you or your worth in the slightest way 💞

[facesofbfrb]

i have both dermatillomania and trichotillomania. my derma is centered around my scalp, so its not super visible, but its still really unnerving when you see a chunk of your own head fall out of your hair. my tricho is centered at my eyebrows, so ill often have random bald patches in my (usually hella thick) eyebrows.

21. Fuzzy Courage the cowardly dog Season 1, episode 4, part 2

“Hello new friend, my name is Fred the words you hear are in my head. I say, I said my name is Fred, and I’ve been… very naughty. - It was a day, I’d not forget, the day that I first met my pet. Oh, what a lovely gift to get, I’d never felt so… naughty.

My fuzzy friend is what he was, this darling little ball of fuzz, And oh, such fuzz, such fuzz, it does, demand, that I… be naughty.

He looked at me, his fetching eyes, and fetching fur did hypnotize, and filled with joy, and filled with sighs, and that’s when I got… naughty.” - ~ Cousin Fred ~ Freaky Fred episode Transcript

Okay, so what exactly is a BFRB?! Well all of the above.

Do you remember the first time you found out what you were doing was an actual medical condition, and you weren't the only one in the world who did it?!

I remember feeling it was nice to know I wasn't alone.... LET US KNOW HOW YOU FELT! Comment or repost with your comment. 

[pickleandthequeen]

Realistically I know cutting my hair doesn’t do a damn thing to fix the underlying basis of my anxiety but boy oh boy do I feel better after taking scissors to my head

It’s just the knowing when to stop that’s the problem

[michaelcliffordandregressio-blog]

So my Hairy Tangle Junior finally came from BFRB.org ( @tlcbfrb ) along with the BFRB awareness ribbon I had ordered. I decided to make some tangle art with it (as I have trichotillomania). I am sending fidgety love to everyone with a BFRB.     😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Also the ribbon came with a safety pin in it, so

Barry Meets Freaky Fred (CTCD Fanfic)

[CW⚠️ UNSETTLING THEMES, TRAUMA, TRITACHME, TRICHOTEMNOMANIA(obsession of shaving hair)]

[Characters: Courage, Barry(OC), Computer, Muriel, Eustace, Fred, Lime(OC) and Michelle(OC)]

[After Courage has gone off for a while and Barry taking charge as him. It is that time today, that Muriel's nephew Fred is visiting her home. And Muriel even feeling delighted to have Fred meet Barry and interact with him. But unfortunately, for Barry. Was that he wasn't aware that Fred is insanely obsessed with... shaving people's hair]

[Also this is when Barry takes the role as Courage which is a little fact about Barry and this fanfic is of the CTCD episode "Freaky Fred"]

(It starts with Courage, packing his stuff in a bag. Then Barry opens the door and sees what Courage is doing with a confused face)

Barry: Courage?

Courage: Oh, Barry! Didn't even know that you come in here for something

Barry: Why are you packing a bag Courage? Are you... going on a journey or something?

Courage: (puts his bag on) Well, I'm going out to spend a bit with Bunny and Kitty

Barry: Your going out?

Courage: Yeah, but don't worry, (headpats Barry) I'll be back in a bit with Muriel, the farmer and Computer

Barry: Oh, ok

Courage: Oh and by the way, while I'm gone, I'll put you in charge as me, ok

Barry: Ok Courage

(The two give eachother a hug goodbye and wave as Courage goes off)

Barry: Bye Courage

Courage: Bye Barry

(Then it cuts to Barry and Computer)

Barry: Well, since Courage is off with his friends, I guess it's just you and me now, right

Computer: Off to see someone you say

Barry: Mmhmm, (feels a little sad about him) yeah

Computer: (sighs) Oh come now kid, don't be like that. It's only for a little while, he won't be that back long

Barry: I know Computer

(The two talk for a while about stuff happening today and all that. Right until it cuts to Barry playing with his two plushies. He then decides to go downstairs where he sees Muriel placing a nice blanket over the table, with a pleasant smile on her face)

Muriel: I can't wait for me dear nephew Fred to arrive!

Barry: Who?

Muriel: Ah Barry dear, I suppose you haven't met me nephew Fred yet

Barry: Your nephew, Fred?

Muriel: Oh why yes (holds a picture of Fred and shows it to Barry) isn't he such a gentleman. (Places her hand on Barry's shoulder) I'm sure he'll be very happy to see you

Barry: Ok

Muriel: Oh and while you here, why don't you help Eustace, he's fixing the bathroom door

Barry: Sure Muriel

(Barry runs to Eustace, who is fixing the bathroom door)

Eustace: You! Fetch me the screwdriver!

Barry: (goes into the toodbox and picks up the screwdriver) Got it! (gives the screwdriver to Eustace)

Eustace: That freak ain't putting a single foot on my household

(Barry watches Eustace fixing the door)

Barry: Hey Mr Bagge, got a small question I gotta ask you

Eustace: What now

Barry: What is about Muriel's nephew Fred?

Eustace: That freak's a barber! A freaky barber! With his own freaky barber shop, where freaky things happen. Freaky barber things!

(Barry's body shakes on what Eustace tells him about Fred. Thus he(Eustace) then scares him out of his sight, causes poor Barry to jump, scream and run downstairs to the living room sofa, feeling frightened in his body)

(Cuts to Muriel fluffing a pillow until she hears the doorbell rang)

Muriel: Oooh, that must be Fred

(Barry sits on the sofa as he watches Muriel heading downstairs to open the door. She opened it and sees Fred outside, holding his bag)

Muriel: Ah Fred me dear nephew. What brings you to our cozy corner of the world?

Fred: Holiday (as he smiles unsettlingly)

Muriel: Barry, come and meet Fred

(Fred comes by the doorway and stands by Barry, watching eachother, eye to eye. Barry feels a little nervous at him but he tries to stay calm when meeting him)

Barry: So, your Muriel's nephew Fred. Right?

Fred: Yes

Barry: My name is Barry! And... (raises his paw out to Fred) it's nice to meet you Fred

Fred: It's a pleasure to meet you too Barry

(The two handshake each other)

(It cuts to Barry and Fred sitting together in a red sofa, Muriel is sitting in her rocking chair)

Eustace: (comes downstairs) Gotta go to the hardware store and get the... y'know, fix the bathroom door. Just don't try shutting it, cause you won't be able to get it open

Muriel: Eustace, our guest is here. Say hello to Fred

[Fred turns his head around at Eustace]

Eustace: ...Yeah... (sits down beside Fred on the sofa) hiya... (pulls out newspaper) (mumbles) freak

(Barry sees wristband Fred is wearing that says 'HOME FOR FREAKY BARBERS' 'CALL 555-1234')

Barry: Hey Muriel, what's with that wristband Fred is wearing?

Muriel: Don't worry about that Barry. You must be exhausted Fred dear. Would you like to freshen up?

Fred: Yes, been quite a trip it has

Muriel: Barry dear. Would you kindly show Fred the bathroom please?

Barry: Mmm sure Muriel (nods)

Muriel: How lovely of you dear, and would you also kindly bring Fred some fresh towels as you go up with him please?

Barry: Sure Muriel

(Muriel gives Barry the towels, Barry's body shakes from the towels' weight)

Muriel: Do you think you can manage that Barry dear?

Barry: Don't worry... Muriel! I got it... [breathes out] under control. [to Fred] C'mon Fred. Right this way, to the bathroom!

[Barry and Fred follow each other upstairs to the bathroom]

[The two head to the bathroom. Barry places the towels on a stool]

Barry: Towels are placed!

Barry: [to Fred] Let me see if I.. can get you... freshen [closes the door, but when it closes, he hears a metal clanking sound of the lock. And that locks the two in the bathroom] Uhh... okay, don't worry Fred. I'll just try to get it to open. [pulls the door handle, but it won't open. he gets worried] Uhh... Muriel? Eustace? [knocks on the door]

[Muriel and Eustace are by the bathroom door, they heard the door knocking]

Muriel: I heard the door slam

Eustace: The door slammed

[Inside the bathroom, Barry desperately yanks the door handle, but it won't open. Across the room, Fred is sitting on the toilet as he flashes a smile]

Eustace: Well. I guess I better get

Muriel: [talking to the bathroom door] Now don't you boys worry, Eustace will be back soon to get the door open

[Back to the bathroom inside. Barry is scared that he got himself stuck in here. He is shivering with anxiety filling him]

Fred: Barry...

Barry: ...huh?

Fred: Your hair...

Barry: My hair? [rubs his own cheek] actually i think you mean my fur... cuz' I'm a cat

[Barry had a nervous look when he looks at Fred and his unsettling smile. But he wanted this meeting to be nice, so he keeps himself cool to him]

Barry: Sooo Fred. Can I ask about how has your holiday was like? Have you been anywhere for a couple of days or weeks? Did you went to a resort?

Fred: Well, not great and pleasant to be exact. Been spending in there for my desires with... fur [he says, as he stares at Barry with a creepy smile] like yours

Barry: Right... But Fred, what has made you really into hair and... fur, a lot?

Fred: [he first picks him up, and places him onto the toilet] It reminds me of the first time I knew just how I felt about hair. [yanks the shower curtains]

Fred: It was a day I'd not forget. The day that I first met my pet. Oh, what a lovely gift to get.

Barry: Oh, a pet. What kind of animal was it? A rabbit?

Fred: [shows a photo of his pet hamster] Hamster! [gives the picture to Barry]

Barry: Aww, it looks really cute

Fred: I'd never felt so... naughty

Barry: Huh, what?

[Fred drapes the curtains around Barry]

Fred: My fuzzy ball is what he was, this darling little ball of fuzz [he digs through his bag and pulls out his shaver. He turns it on]

Barry: [hears the shaver on, his eyes widened, and his body began to shiver nervously] F-Fred? What's that you have, o-on your hand?

Fred: [holds onto Barry's shoulder to prevent him from trying to run] And oh, such fuzz, such fuzz, it does demand that I be... naughty. [showed another photo of the hamster, now looking at him] He looked at me, his fetching eyes, and fetching fur did hypnotize, and filled with joy, and filled with sighs, and that's when I got... naughty. [shows him the picture of the hamster completely shaved bare, with an angry expression on its face]

[When Fred noticed he is gone now. he opens the down cabinet, where Barry is hiding in]

Fred: Now, now... [reaches in and grabs Barry by his arms] The chemicals in here could kill you

Muriel: [Sitting outside the bathroom door in her rocking chair, knitting.] Don't worry boys, Eustace should be at the hardware store by now!

[The scene cuts to Eustace inside his idle truck, happily reading his Nowhere News newspaper.] [The scene changes back to the bathroom, Fred holds up Barry who is a little wet, with the top of his head shaved off]

Fred: This dripping hair, this droopy curl [shakes Barry and drops him back onto the toilet as he walks to the bathroom window] Unfurls sweet memories of a girl, whose tresses, oh, they'd twist and twirl, and tempt me to be... naughty.

Barry: A girl? You mean... that you use to be with a girl

[Fred shows Barry, a picture of a young girl with long blonde hair, and has a loving expression on her face]

Fred: Barbara, my love was named, and her fair hair, a mane untamed.

Barry: Oh... she's an pure angel

Fred: Until one evening – I'm ashamed – I got a little... naughty.

[Fred begins to psychotically shave Barry as a creepy choir loudly singing "La la la" to Fred's theme. Barry screams a bit by the horror, but he is drowned out by the music and trimmer.]

Fred: The look upon my young love's face was sweet as lace. But in this case, I realized she... [shows Barry, the picture of the girl now shaved bald with a furious look on her face] Needed space

Fred: I never more was naughty. Well... maybe not never [he notices Barry desperately trying to open the door again, he then picks him up. Barry's face is shaved off, the only fur remaining are his arms, body, legs and his tail]

Fred: Playful little scamp [he places Barry back onto the toilet once more]

Muriel: [knocks on the door, with a plate of pancakes in her hand] Is everything alright in there?

Barry: [crying out] MURIEL! HELP ME OUT!

[Muriel sees Barry clawing underneath. She places the pancakes down on the floor, as Barry pulls it in]

Muriel: Just can't wait for those pancakes, can you?

Barry: MURIEL!? [he yelled out as Fred grabs him again, echoing outside the bathroom door]

Muriel: Wonderful! Eustace should be back any moment now

Barry: MURIEL! MURIEL!!! [knocks on the door]

[The scene changes to Eustace lounging on the beach]

Fred: [waves a pancake on his hand] No need for panic. Behold sustenance, hungry whelp! [stuffs the pancake into Barry's mouth, he swallows with strain. He picks him up and Barry has his own mobile pad, trying to eye the phone numbers on Fred's wristband. But that stops him with two more pancakes stuffed in his mouth. Fred pulls his wristband and hides it]

Fred: [shoves another pancake in Barry's mouth] Dear cur, your fur and fleece remind of nothing found in humankind. But for one fellow, who did find me – to be... in a certain mood.

[Scene cuts to Fred in his barbershop. A long bearded man stands in the doorway]

Fred: [narrating] Into my shop he walked one day, with bush above and beard bouquet. That's no toupee, I pray... no way I could help but be... you know...

[The man sits in the chair]

Bearded Man: Just a trim, partner

[The man leans back, with Fred sweating nervously over him]

Fred: [narrating] I'd never seen such hair before! His bangs, they sang! His neck, it beckoned! Eyebrows, armpits, all were reckoned! Soon I figured, "What the heck?" and – Guess how I was... naughty...

[Scene comes back to Barry, being shaved underneath, yelping. Cuts to Muriel sitting in her rocking chair, watching TV]

Barry: [yells] MURIEL!

[And... the last bit of fur shaved from his right paw. Fred drops Barry with a shrug, twirling from satisfaction. Barry pulls out the wristband, dialing the number with his pad, and conversing with the employee]

Barry: [quietly] I need help! He's shaving my whole body off–

[On the other end quietly before he gets picked up once again. The scene changes back to Eustace, now asleep in a movie theater. We catch another glimpse of Muriel, impatiently tapping her fingers and eyeing her watch, waiting for Eustace to return.]

[Barry is sitting on the toilet, nearly shaven completely. Fred, sitting on the edge of the tub, beckons Barry, his shaver still buzzing.]

Barry: [notices the only fur left is his tail, shielding it and yammering in protest] F-Fred... please! I don't want to do this [he begs Fred to stop, as it is now scaring him]

[Fred continues beckoning him]

Barry: DON'T YOU GET WHAT I SAID! PLEASE!!!

Fred: Sweet cat, afraid I'll shave your tail? Why, now, that would be weird!

[Sirens are heard, Fred closely listens and shuts off his shaver, but his smile remains. He peers out from the window as van doors are heard being slam]

???: Surround the area! Cut the power, we don't anyone getting shaved in there!

Fred: Ah... So ends our little story...

[Barry suddenly has regret on his face, feeling sorry for himself. As he breathes from exhaustion]

[The door is bashed two times before falling on the third hit, two big muscled men rush in with an orange blanket as the scene goes to black.]

[The scene resumes as Fred is lead into the back of a white van by the two men, restrained by the blanket in a straight jacket-like fashion. The previous "La la la" music replays in the background. Muriel waves at Fred, while Barry is held by Lime and comforted by him and Michelle, the friends of his uncle Oliver]

Muriel: What a lovely visit! Too bad Eustace didn't get to say goodbye

Lime: [sighs] C'mon pal

Michelle: How bout we get eachother some sweet desserts? What do you say, huh, bud?

Barry: [sniffs, wipes a tear off his eye] ...Yeah

[Lime and Michelle walk off, with Lime holding Barry by his shoulder. As they head off to the town streets of Nowhere]

THE END!

[mental-health-advice]

Ok so I've become literally obsessed with body hair? I shave my entire body every single day and I feel absolutely disgusted if I see a even one hair. But what makes it even worse is that I struggle to remove every single hair, especially down below.. idk what to do it really stresses me out?! - tag: bleu

Hi darling,

I’m really sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling with this. It sounds like this is getting out of control, taking up a lot of time, and is causing you a lot of stress. I’m not a professional, so I can’t say what exactly you’re dealing with, but I think it can be good to look into Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs). As the name implies, these are behaviours that someone deals with repetitively. BFRBs are closely linked to obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, because the repetitive behaviour of BFRBs is compulsive.

There are a lot of different BFRBs. We have a BFRB page series, and this page of it explains all the different types. You might want to look into trichotemnomania, which is the compulsive urge to cut or shave one’s hair. BFRBs aren’t widely known, so it’s possible that your GP won’t be familiar with them. I do urge you to continue seeing professionals until you find one who is familiar with them. They can then assess you and determine whether this is what you’re dealing with, and if not then what else it is that you’re dealing with. You can read more about getting help here.

Our page series also includes a self-help page, that I hope can give you some tips on how to deal with this! A big part of it is learning how you can get through those moments where the urge to shave is really high. This can be done by keeping yourself busy for example. We have a page with distractions here and a video here.

This isn’t something you have to deal with forever lovely! You can get through this, you can get help, and there is treatment available. I hope this helped!

Sometimes what seems impossible, is just hard.

Keep fighting beautiful ❤

Love Pauline

that bfrb feel when

[imeverywoman420]

Are we allergic to hot irons and crap — yes. I’m not doing SHIT to my hair but wash and trim it on occasion. Whether long like metal head or short like mop or shortest like buzzed. Dunno why anyone would think that’s worse than running around looking like a show poodle or a magazine cutout who spends hours on hair getting neck n headaches she could’ve spent drinking fucking eating swearing sleeping rioting stealing smoking screaming or (so importantly) community service

Ok? Why are you replying to a post about fashion if youre above it all missy girlington. Annoying. Moving on.

The worst thing about not having hair is not being able to use hot rollers. I miss them so much. I would have never cut my hair to even a shoulder length bob if i would have known id develop a months long bout of trichotemnomania which would lead to me cutting off all my hair in like. The most hellish death spiral like the actual rock bottom of ym entire life. Losing my hair was like. Equally as painful as losing my dad. I mourn it every day.

The only reason im not on the verge of suicide is in like a month or two my hair will be long enough to be considered a really ugly pixie cut instead of like. A grown out buzzcut.

In remembrance of my incredibly thick and resilient despite years of black hair dye making it feel like a wig hair. Hot rollers are quite literally the most based womens beauty tool ever. I beg of other women bro if you do nothing else WEAR HOT ROLLERS. It takes like 15 mins max. Chwnge your freaking life.

[facesofbfrb]
