#tw: trichotillomania

[dead-or-lie]

“O-oh no..not again..”

Mikan stared at her head in the mirror. It was hard to tell exactly what she was looking at about herself before she quickly uses her hair to cover it up.

“I-I..was getting better about this..I-i..I can’t believe I got another one..”

She almost seems to tear up from disappointment in herself before noticing someone.

“Ah! I-I’m sorry! Do you need any medical help!?”

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.

Anon compulsively tweezes their body hair and picks at scabs/pimples/etc, sometimes until they bleed. They do this because of an autistic obsession with removing unwanted textures from their body.

projecting my weird habits onto bill cipher because CMON HE SO WOULD

looking back at childhood photos and seeing that I LITERALLY had half an eyebrow at all times... its fine it grew back but god it was unhinged

[synonymroll648]

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

i think all of my problems would be solved if i killed myself 😁 !

i want whumpees with bfrbs (body-focused repetitive behaviors) as stress responses

(dermatillomania: compulsive skin picking

trichotillomania: compulsive hair plucking

onychophagia: compulsive nail biting)

owner whumper being horrified at how their pet with a bfrb is damaging their appearance

whumper commenting on how bad the scabs/bald spots/nails are to taunt whumpee

prisoner whumpee having their hands tied behind them specifically so they can't have the stress release of picking/pulling/biting

stoic whumpee’s teammates noticing them being careful to keep their arms covered/their hair thinning out in one spot/their ripped-off nails on their scabby fingers

captive whumpee having only one way to try to reclaim the body that doesn’t belong to them anymore, and getting punished for it

please add more ideas if you have them i love to see bfrb rep

(really sorry if this triggered yours btw i tried my best to tag appropriately)

ellie with a partner with bfrbs.

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

[ashersbraincell]

Something I feel like is not talked about enough with bfrb’s(especially ones that involve tensing muscles for a while like skin-picking or trich) is the muscle aches from sitting tensed up in one specific position for fucking ages.

Are you diagnosed with trichotillomania? (aka hair-pulling syndrome. a mental disorder that involves the repeated and often irresistible urge to pull out your hair from anywhere on your body)

yes/no

[asking for myself bc i want to know how many other ppl go through this]

[humongoustimetravelconnoisseur]

Pretty sure Sophie has Trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder)

Like, when she’s stressed or upset she always pulls her eyelashes compulsively.

[whump-softie]

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.

What’s the point in having hair if you don’t rip it out at every minor inconvenience

[godsofwoes]

fighting w my demons aka im pulling out my hair again

[snake-habitat1]

death sounds better than whatever the fuck this is.

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

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...
