•POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING??•
9 years ago
Heyo friends!
-I just wanna warn everyone who watches me now that I could draw something that could be trigger worthy?
-I myself have Dermatillomania, minor Dermatophagia, and Trichotillomania (both forms of OCD), GAD, major depression, and manic depression (bi-polar disorder.)
-Dermatillomania is also known as compulsive skin picking, where I find pimples, old scars, scabs, etc, and pick until they bleed and I practically make holes in my body. They cover about half of my body at the moment, healed spots mostly. I'm really working hard to stop, but the feeling of having something inside you makes you itch and squirm and hurt so bad that you have to pick.
-Dermatophagia is known as compulsive skin eating. Yeah it sounds gross, but i do bite my skin off and do ingest it, around my fingers and inside my mouth mostly, but sometimes I do ingest scabs. As a kid i would chew my feet till they bled, but I rarely do that unless I'm having a breakdown.
-Trichotillomania is known as compulsive hair pulling, which I do often. I have made bald spots in my hair, but I've calmed a bit from that, just pulling out what feels uneven and wavy. The feeling of kinks in my hair makes me anxious, so I take them out to maybe make my hair look better? I pluck my leg hairs almost daily as well. Along with skin eating, I've also been known to ingest hair follicles.
Now, I don't want this to be a pity party, I've actually never put this out there. I hate admitting this shit. But as a warning for everyone who reads, this could all be involved in my artwork. Thank you to the ones who read. And i guess for those who don't, good luck pals.

Trichotillomania, I have it.
I HAD TO SHAVE MY HEAD BECAUSE OF ALL MY UGLY ASS BALD SPOTS, my life for years sucked because of it ;w;
I can't believe I found another person. (I bite off the follicles too)
I pick all things that can be picked, I hate hanging skin etc, rip all the hang nails and make it worse, tip: put nail polish where the hang nail is so you can't take it off.
I'll do that man! Thanks for the tip :3
After two tries of shaving my head, I finally have been able to stop it, a fresh start really helped me.
