Silva went through a brief phase where she would pick at her own eyelashes and eyebrows. This was caused after the sudden environment shift when she was adopted and taken to the estate. Sometimes she would even pull out bits of her hair, to the point where she would sometimes bleed from the picking. This lasted roughly for three months and then the following two months, she did it on and off. She no longer does this...though she almost had to habit restart when she came home after her two year journey.

Ripping off my hair. I talked with my brother's girlfriend about fp and she suggested that something serious might have happened with his girlfriend that prevents him from contacting me directly. I never stopped for a second to think that there could have been some actual problem. We were supposed to tell each other everything. But he never explained anything. And now I'm afraid that, as she hypothesized, controlling as his girlfriend is, she might as well have taken his phone from him, and/or read his messages and found out something. It's a very toxic relationship and I'm very concerned... whatever the outcome.
I feel so anxious and disgusting. I may have literally ruined his life. And I'm too afraid to find out. And I don't deserve any of this. Everything started because of him. He just needed to tell me he couldn't come to our appointment instead of leaving me alone for hours. I have no idea what's going on.

ellie with a partner with bfrbs.
Tumblr media
a/n - sorry if these are out of character i'm mostly just projecting 🤗🤗
i just want to say to all my bfrb babes that ellie loves and helping in any way she can.
- if she notices that you're about to pick, she'll take her hands in yours and try to distract you from the urge.
- if you're the type of person that needs to get things off your chest, she'll listen to you so very attentively until the feeling doesn't feel as intense anymore.
- and if you're not:
she'll either talk your ear off about the latest comics she's reading or anything that comes to mind. i know she's less talkative in the second game but i fully believe that she'd be as conversational as she could in situations like this.
- if you have trichotillomania (projecting! :3) she'll make sure you don't feel AS insecure about your bald spots or your scabs. girlie is a GOD at making eye contact but i feel like she would do it more often as a subtle way of letting you know that she's not disgusted by your lack of lashes/eyebrows. don't know if this is too ooc but i want this woman to caress my baldspots.
- onto skin picking! she'll definitely help you out with tasks that involve your hands if it's mainly revolving around your fingers. she'll clean your scabs for you whether you can do it yourself or not.
- i feel like she wouldn't quite understand the fact that bfrb's are a REPETITIVE DISORDER and they're quite hard to stop so i feel like she would get mad at herself if you relapsed and blame herself for a while but she'd never get mad at you.
i had more in the first draft but tumblr is A DICK! (@staff i'm under your bed.) but to my babes with bfrbs i love you and ELLIE loves you and YOU'RE NOT DISGUSTING OR HIDEOUS OR LESS OF A PERSON - ani<3

I am an ouroboros
~ A poem about mental illness, healing and snakes
Inspired by the works of @headspace-hotel and @tamiscolaris
~
I'm not really sure the point I'm trying to make in this; it's more an exploration of my own mental health, how I view it, and, in turn, how I view myself

Whumpee’s with short hair…
Whumper lamenting about the hair they used to have, and Whumpee secretly glad to ruin their day.
Whumpee keeps finding ways to keep their hair short (practically begging for the punishment), and Whumper keeps letting them. If they want to pick their lessons, why not?
When Whumpee looks in the mirror, they don’t recognize the person there. No longer the lovely, cared for locks, but rough jagged lines on their head where Whumper angrily cut.
Secretly loving the short hair, loving having control over it. Whumpee will pluck out any strands that get too long. Anything to have control.

people with trichotillomania aren’t ugly for having bald spots, short or missing eyelashes, or patchy eyebrows.
people with excoriation disorder aren’t ugly for having scars, scabs, and uneven skin.
people with BFRBs aren’t ugly for walking around with evidence of their mental illness on their body — rough skin, short nails, and scars of all kinds are not ugly
y’all are great just the way you are, and I hope you’re not feeling too self-conscious at the moment. you deserve to feel valued regardless of the visible signs of your mental illness

Comfort
Welcome back to another segment of malewife Chuuya woooo 👏👏👏
This one is more personal (as if all my fics aren't-).
So long story short, I have trichotillomania. If you don't know what that is uhh... google it lmao. It's something I'm heavily insecure about and I've never talked about it openly so I'm literally shaking and crying while writing this KAHDKSJSK. But I had a relapse last night and it's been haunting my thoughts all day and I need my fictional husband to reassure me and tell me that I'm not some weirdo for having this... And like comfort tickles go brrr
So yeah that's about it uwu

Warnings: Tickles! **Reader has trichotillomania**
___________________________________________
You had just walked out of the bathroom, the look on your face made you seem like you had seen a ghost.
"Honey, what's wrong...?" Chuuya perked up from his place on the bed.
"I... it happened again... I don't know what happened, but I couldn't resist the urge. Now my eye's a bit irritated and I feel like I've comitted some war crime...!" you said exasperated. "Sorry... this just has me feeling very anxious and guilty... And it had been a while since I had an episode. I feel so awful now..."
Chuuya listened intently. Once you finished, he gently took your hand and guided you to lay down next to him, pressing you against his chest. "Here, let me see..." he softly tilted your head up to look at him, checking over the area. He then looked down at you with soft eyes "You shouldn't be so harsh on yourself. Many people struggle with this too... Just think of this as a minor setback. You're strong and you can overcome anything, and I'll be here to support you no matter what".
After hearing all that, your panicked expression slowly shifted to a more relieved look. Of course the pang of guilt wasn't gonna leave overnight, but it was also relieving having someone by your side who didn't judge or ridicule you for struggling with this.
"Not gonna lie, hearing that made me feel a bit better. I always felt like some weirdo because of this haha...".
He softly chuckled with you. "I could never find you weird for that. And if anyone dares to say otherwise, I'll kill them" he stated bluntly with a serious expression. You couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but best not to question him. He really would do just about anything for you.
"So is there anything I could do to help calm you down?" then, his smile turned a bit more teasy. "Maybe this...?~" he asked as he inched his wiggling fingers towards your tummy, waiting to see if you'd allow him to continue or not.
You couldn't help the blush that overtook your cheeks, but you couldn't lie, tummy tickles did sound really good right about now. So you gave him a soft nod of approval.
On cue, his hands slowly wormed over to your tummy. Starting off by lightly caressing it all over, from your sides, your lower belly, around your navel, etc. It was enough to feel tingly but also relaxing.
"That feel nice?~" he asked with a soft smile as he kept working his magic over your torso.
"Ehehe... y-yeah..." a shy smile overcame your lips, slowly growing wider by the moment.
"Hmhm~ Well, let's try to sleep now..." he leaned over and placed a sweet kiss on your cheek. "G'night" he then went back and nuzzled his face into the crook of your neck, as his fingers kept absentmindedly tracing all over your belly. What a perfect way to let your insecurities melt away...
___________________________________________
I don't feel sad anymore but I'm still gonna go hide in shame ✌️

it's crazy how eyelashes exist to keep stuff from getting in our eyes & they often are the stuff & eyelash stuck in eye can be a pulling trigger & no eyelashes mean no debris barrier

See as someone who has severe Trichotillomania and moderate other BFRBs, I never saw the point in why they are specified (for me again, cause I am on an extreme end) cause yeah Trichotillomania, Trichophagia, Dermatillomania, yada yada got those but what is
*checks notes*
"Compulsively clipping the calouses on the bottom of my toe with nail clippers to reveal fresh skin"
(I am aware that is not the safest or proper way to remove them, I have Excessive Preening Disorder)

I have never talked to someone else who has Trichotillomania. It comes in waves for me and I always pull out my eyebrows primarily. Once an episode of pulling starts, I can’t seem to stop and almost feel like it’s a trance that I’m under. I am trying to stop but once the urge is there, it’s really hard once I start one pull. Sometimes I do it without even realising and then it’s too late. I currently have almost removed my entire left eyebrow. It really sucks cause it’s embarrassing and people don’t understand when I say I pull out the hair and I can’t control it (very well). Does anyone have any ways they deal with it? I bite my nails aswell and skin pick, I have always had an issue with body repetitive behaviours like this. I started pulling out my hair when I was 9 years old, on my head, brows and lashes. But it’s been mainly my eyebrows for many years now.

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
