Making it one of my Q1 goals to get the @HabitAware keen 2 bracelets.
In the meantime, my healing strategies are kindness, self care, workout and food 😌
My scalp is buzzing, like the tingling itchy sensation is everywhere, my neck hurts from titling it to the side as I pull, pluck, fiddle, my finger tips hurt from the constant grabbing.
It’s 2:39am and I just want to open my door and Scream!

Learning to Identify your emotions is a vital part of healing and recovery for Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (bfrbs)
S/O to everyone living with a BFRB, you are seen and loved 🌺.

And this happens a lot, sometimes it’s the ability to dissect your anxiety and identify the real emotions.
The uncomfortable feeling has a name; it could be anger, disappointment, envy, hurt or maybe a mix of all.

Living with Trichotillomania has helped me not to take insensitive opinions/jokes from ignorant people personally.
I’ll be stupid to let your stupid comment ruin my mood.

We aren’t talking enough about how much BFRB impacts our lives. In Africa we are still largely unaware and those who may know are keeping it secret from fear of being shamed.
How do we help parents, teenagers and adults break the stigma and heal?

Labeling really is the first step to liberation.
Imagine struggling with a “bad habit” thinking you have a problem. Then you realize your problem has a name and it’s Trichotillomania and it’s more normal and common than you think.
