headcanon that the reason sophie still has eyelashes to pull on the regular is that grady and edaline worked something out with the dizznees to get a tasteless formula to help eyelash growth specifically to put drops of in her bottles of youth. because there’s no way her ptsd-induced trichotillomania (oversimplified definition for those who aren’t familiar: hair pulling disorder) is gonna die down during the war, so they’re trying to make sure she doesn’t move from eyelashes to eyebrows or her Hair hair by giving her More Eyelashes

Trich is getting bad again. I can't control my hands. I don't know why. But I don't want to lose my eyebrows and lashes again.

Since y’all (not anyone in particular but like mostly those cheap “informational websites” still don’t get it, here’s the simplest explanation.

BFRBs and self-harm MAY OVERLAP, but they are NOT THE SAME THING.

Self-harm is an act that causes deliberate harm to yourself. It is usually a conscious decision at first (not always, but usually) even if the self-harmer doesn’t know why. It is often a way to express or cope with emotional or physical pain.

A BFRB (Body Focused Repetitive Behavior) is a type of RECOGNIZED (and usually self-diagnosable) DISORDER that caused a habit or behavior, usually self-grooming, that can cause injury and pain to the person with said disorder, and cannot be broken despite repeated attempts.

You CAN self-harm the same way a person may engage with a BFRB. But a BFRB is not inherently self-harm or self-injury. A person with dermatillomania scratching at their skin is NOT INHERENTLY THE SAME as a person self-harming by scratching at their skin. This same rule applies to any and all methods of self-harm and any and all BFRBs.

Please get it straight this is so frustrating

Seeking Participants for a Research Study on Hair-Pulling Habits!

Hi everyone!

For those with hair pulling habits, I decided to devote my thesis work towards researching trichotillomania, hoping I'd help my community and raise awareness about this disorder.

Therefore, I'm seeking participants for research that will help us better understand the relationship between specific characteristics of hair-pulling behavior, trouble paying attention or controlling impulsive behaviors, and emotion regulation styles. We will be measuring these variables through widely used self-report questionnaires.

I truly would appreciate your help!

Thank you very much!!

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

[millenniumpuzzle]

my eyebrows are half gone i have NOT been doing good at mitigating my trich

[beloathedzombie]

As someone with Trichotillomania (on the top of my head mainly) I’m at a spot where now I just joke about it. So much of what makes this disorder hard (at least in my experience) is the horrible shame that comes with it. What I’m getting at is any time I am telling someone online (or when I showed my remote therapist what my bald spots look like) I send this photo. AND ITS ALWAYS COMEDY GOLD.

38 days clean from pulling my eyelashes and eyebrows. I am beyond proud of myself. I haven't had this amount of brows and lashes in years.

I do feel the urge to pull. In fact the urge is higher than before. My hands still fumble around my eyes a lot. The difference is: I allow myself to only touch my beautiful lashes instead of pulling them. It may seem a bit silly but I need the tactile sensory input on my fingertips. Hopefully this time it will last.

day 3

today was hard because it was stressful but enough time for overthinking. and if i don't have the hair pulling as short way to calm me down it is really hard for me to get through these heavy emotions. but i tried my best today and didn't pull

maybe it would be helpful to learn meditation to have a positive short way to calm myself down... does it work for you or how do you deal with your emotion?

and the good thing i did for my hair today is brush it in the morning, taking care of it and trying to make it look beautiful. for me it was something good because usually i untangle it with my fingers which triggers pulling
