Anonymous asked: On your little "about me" it says you suffer from an OCD. What is it, if you don't mind me asking? :'3
I had trichotillomania, which means I pulled out my hair. I would pull it out from the crown of my scalp. For whatever reason, it felt good, but it was definitely a form of self harm. I went on for years and I had done a lot to help me stop. I went to counseling, I was prescribed prozac [even though I wasn’t depressed], I even started journaling. The journaling is what helped me the most.
I became very serious with my OCD in March 2010 right after my cousin died. I didn’t pull my hair for just over 100 days. Then, I pulled when a stressful situation came up. I kept pulling and then it was worse than it ever had been before. I decided to buckle down and began, again October 23, 2010.
I’m proud to say that I have been successfully 434 days without pulling my hair. I no longer have bald/thin patches, but I do still have the urge to pull my hair. I suppose I always will, but I try and channel my urges into working out or doing something else with my hands. Anyone can overcome anything. <3
