I’ve figured out my biggest mental struggle with trichotillomania. If I make the decision to not pull, it doesn’t mean I will see progress any time soon. For every hair I pull, things get worse. For every hair I do not pull, things don’t get better, they just don’t get worse. the only instant gratification I can achieve is from whatever I get out of pulling the hairs. There will...

These photos were taken by heroic activists on European fur farms. After enduring brief miserable lives, these animals are mercilessly slaughtered for their fur pelts to satisfy the greed of companies like INTERMIX.
In honor of these lost lives, please help us ask Intermix to go fur free…

i’ve never pulled more than one or two eyelashes every once in awhile.
monday was super stressful, and for the first time in forever i had mascara on. instead of just pulling off the mascara like most people, i pulled out 85% of my eyelashes. all i’ve had the urge to do since is put more mascara on and tear the rest out.

fuck. trich.

There is hope yet.
