I had a pretty severe experience with dermatophagia when I was 10-12. I used to strip my feet and used to end up really sore from my raw toes. I was terrified of others seeing the soles of my feet, but PE made it impossible and my fingers were only mildly better.
However, with willpower and time, I was able to stop! It took time and dedication but i managed it and today my feet are healthy! :)
it is a real mental issue
we can not simply stop
it is often not a form of self harm, most don’t pick for the purpose of maiming themselves
it is an addiction
we should not feel the need to be embarrassed by our skin
Lemme save this for later *cries* if only I had more time in my life rn
Okay I’m on ep 9 of season 4 she ra and Hordak still thinks that entrapta is a traitor and he was like “out of all of the princesses, Entrapta has yet to face me” and honestly?? Holy SHIT someone write an au where Etrapta actually defected bc she realized she was actually hurting good people. And they actually meet in battle holy SHIT THATS SO ANGSTY I DONT EVEN LIKE ANGST BUT I REALLY want someone to hurt me with this.
a summary of the consequences of my life because I read percy jackson
When I was 8 years old the seeds were planted for my mental issues. By the age of 10 they were truly making themselves known in behavioural difficulties. At 12 I was given counselling for communicational management. When I was 13 that turned into visits to an NHS psychiatrist and psychologist to sort out my depression, anxiety, disordered eating, body image issues and suicidal thoughts.
It took a while but I made it back to feeling good. My anxiety persisted somewhat, but the depression was pretty much gone.
But then, last month, with me being now 17, the anxiety came back in full force worse than it’s ever been before. My doctor even wanted to prescribe me medication. I lost half a stone (7 pounds) in 10 days, lost so much sleep and woke up in cold sweats every night, and I even had to have a blood test to confirm that nothing was wrong.
But the reason for this would have shocked 13 year old me.
It was because I developed a debilitating fear of death and dying. I realised how much I love being alive and how much I haven’t been able to do yet.
I may be afraid, and I may have been miserable for weeks at a time, wondering if I should just quicken up the process (since you can’t be afraid of something that’s already happened, especially not something like that), but it has also inspired me.
I’ve taken up walking (WALKING), both alone and with friends. I even now have a couple of friends I’m going to go walking with every weekend. And, hopefully, soon I should be able to begin enjoying my ballet lessons again.
I’ve also made huge progress with my body image. This month has made me more comfortable with what I’ve been given. Soon, I’ll hopefully be happy again.
Times may be hard, but if you stay with yourself long enough to see the other side of it, you may just surprise yourself.
Recovery is hard, recovery can be slow, but recovery is worth it. It may not be the only time you have to recover but that’s just going to be another chapter.
And this post may be the most ramble-y mess I’ve ever written, but I feel like some people need to hear that they deserve to tell the world their entire story, not just a couple of chapters.
