I’m always in the habit of just running my finger through a few strands and ripping it out, just can’t resist the urge to do it

It’s really nuked my hair quality, just put a bunch of stress on my scalp and causes split ends

It’s so frustrating, I never grow my hair long because i always end up ripping large quantities out

Yeah same here

Why is taking care of oneself so hard… it’s as if our brains are self-destructive

Not on some schizo shit, I’m not palming half my head and yanking it out JFL :feelskek::feelskek:

Just subconsciously ripping out 5-10 strands all the time, it doesn’t give me bald spots but it’s definitely reduced my hair health and quality

i used to do this then i pivoted to twirling a few strands and then tying it around itself and then releasing it and pulled out whatever got knotted until i eventually stopped all together

Same

I’ve tried to stop because skin is thinnest around the eyes and of course something as simple as rubbing eyes has to be a looksmin :feelsbadman:

That’s what i do know, but a little more aggressively

I curl my hair with my finger to create a knot and then yank my finger out, basically damaging everything it’s so stupid

It’s always satisfying when you rip out the full thing

But it’s fucking depressing when you realise in the moment you’ve just did some stupid thing for no reason at all

I’ve tried to go bald before to get rid of the habit but once my hair grew out long enough it just came right back

You maybe need to start abusing opioids to make up for the endorphins + oxytocin deficiencies in your brain that you use hair pulling to cope with. Only way to save your hair is to become an opioid addict then go to an addiction clinic and be put on buprenorphine or methadone for life probably.

congrats you got a mental disorder, it’s called Trichotillomania. But don’t worry I have it too. However I have it with other hair eg on my fingers or if it grows from a mole, which is disgusting . Maybe you can try switching to a different place, at least then it can be useful. A few days ago I felt one hair on my back. This is my single only back hair and it grows from a tiny bump almost invisible but for some reason one damn hair grows from it so I have to rip it out every couple of months. If I don’t I can’t even sleep it just feels so disgusting like it has to go. That one is the worst because I can’t see it so it’s difficult. On my neck I have one mole and it grows one hair too and when I notice I have to get it out or I can’t do anything. If I don’t have tweezers I’ll use my nails but it’s often bled because of it but at least then it’s gone. But if I can I try to use tweezers to rip the little fucker out. Why are humans made so that moles produce these disgusting black hairs 🤢

Don’t go bald, it doesn’t stop it to be honest, just came back for me

a good strategy would be to wear hats/beanies for long enough but that damages your hair all the same

I think it’s one of those things that passes with time or sticks with you forever, don’t know if there’s really a way to stop it completely

unironically just do drugs

i was very normal on oxy compared to being sober

i hate being medicated
Too broke for that stuff

I’ve done weed alc and psychs but never touched pills or powders or any of that stuff

I don’t really have a social life either, taking xans or something alone in my bedroom would be a new low for me :feelskek:

being addicted to oxy was the most productive period of my life so i could make money to afford it

xans was where i got lazy

Probably the best idea.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid but never got any help since i moved countries a few weeks after

I’ve went most of my life for the most part undiagnosed, with a bunch of shit. I should go see a psychiatrist for this kinda stuff but takes like 6 months to actually get diagnosed and allocated treatment :forcedsmile:

I hate how demonized opioids are, for some people they're the only thing making them feel normal. Many opioid users just feel like nothing else makes life feel "normal", many don't even do it to get high they just feel like it is the only "medicine" that works for their mental and well-being issues etc, many aren't high they actually just want to feel "normal". Seriously.

Never been one who took any opioids or things in that realm

I LDAR all day and don’t go out

It’s like ridiculously easy to find a weed plug

Need some sort of social life to unlock those drugs :feelskek:, I’ll probably just ignore it like always jfl

yeah that was honestly the happiest and well functioning ive ever been

my ex hated the fact i was always high though (ironic cause she smoked weed daily)

so i quit because of her, and relapsed at a party with my friends on xans

after that i fucked my brain up abusing xans, hulks & b7s ruined my life lowkey

i should’ve never taken her advice to “get better”

after we broke up i quit xans and i started smoking weed, then i took acid and i derealized so now im sober since doing any drugs will worsen it

Used to do the same

Spent like 6 months last year taking like 500mg edibles daily, it was a very brutal phase and a complete blur. Never attended school, unemployed only left 1x a week for groceries.

I only use drugs once a month or so now, although being constantly present and aware is sickening, I also think it’s good to be dialed in and have peace of mind

Back in those times when I’d sleep high and wake up sober I’d always torture myself with the thoughts that I’m literally wasting away, but I’d just get high again to be rid of those thoughts. The cycle repeated until I ran out of cash :feelskek::smonk:

Funny because opioid "highs" are some of the most functional ones lol, they also don't make you do dumb shit, they are also NOT neurotoxic unlike most other things (stims, benzos, alcohol), they don't cause psychosis either. Also weed is dirty as fuck in comparison, risk for all kinds of mental effects, very bad if prone to DP/DR, certain forms of anxiety, psychosis etc!! That high THC shit is almost psychedelic these days.

Edit: Only bad thing is sedation etc but you obviously get that in very high dosages, some stick to "moderately high + functional", I know some are basically mostly "just feeling normal" and not even that high lol.

i didn’t do much independent research on whether or not it would be okay for me to go back to oxy after i got a psych eval when i was paranoid about the effects of the acid

i was advised by my psychiatrist that any mind-altering substance would make my dp/dr worsen or bring forth any underlying issues

im lowkey just currently living under constant fear that something will happen and ill have a mind-snap and lose it while also questioning my reality

Honestly opioids can help with that BUT unless you got a steady supply and shit intermittent withdrawals can rebound that shit pretty bad.. 🤷‍♂️ you can't look into trying buprenorphine or some shit? Hard as fuck to be prescribed unless you present yourself as genuine addict and shit + they often want to piss test you to "prove" you are addicted lmfao.. you almost have to become addicted for real to access buprenorphine/methadone lol. But yeah opioids actually generally help those type of issues exactly, they are very "earth-grounding" drugs IMO and IME.

And yeah with DP/DR stay away from anything psychedelic, I have often had the same issues and I am never touching those things or weed either because of that, would definitely fuck me up BAD too most likely if I did now too.

i doubt i'd be able to since they are aware of my drug history and that i have been sober for nearly a year off opiates (348 days now)

Right, makes sense. But should you ever relapse or feel like you can't live without opioids because nothing else works or makes you feel normal or have decent quality of life then it is really worth trying as fuck for sure. There are tons of people out there that live good lives thanks to opioids and stuff like buprenorphine/methadone and prevented themselves from roping or dying from dirty street drugs overdose, or ruin themselves financially for access to the drugs. 👍
