Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

i'll even go first. i'm a plucker. not the average kind that overplucks eyebrows or anything. when i'm lying in bed trying to sleep or watching a movie or just relaxing, i pluck my pubic hair. with my fingers. i did it so much the other night that from just about where the lips start down to my ass is completely hairless.

plus side is it lasts longer than shaving.

we already had this thread this post

god how many times do we have to fucking go through this

anon posts a weird habit that's borderline self-injury

anons e-diagnose them

a bunch of anons pour in to discuss the extent of their own e-diagnoses and anxiety issues and buttpats fly all around

for the love of all that is holy can you morons take this to a support forum

that's called trichotilimania. it is a legitimate neurological disorder. it usually comes with variations of depression, anxiety, and/or ocd (the last is most common because it is a form of ocd).

i've had it for years and i've actually met three other rpers that do.

well, considering that i'm ocd and have depression and anxiety, that seems to fit. i didn't know it was an actual thing. thanks for filling me in.

It is! It's a bit comforting to know it's an actual thing and that you aren't alone in experiencing it, but as far as I'm aware there is no direct drugs that can help with it (OCD meds didn't really help over all for me, let alone for this). If you only see a psychologist, I would recommend seeing a neurologist if possible. While I do have a lot of issues I internalize and sometimes want to scream about, I would take my neurologist over a hundred decent therapists and psychiatrists. She seems to actually pay attention to my issues and doesn't jump to conclusions or prescribe me something that I don't feel comfortable taking or doesn't work. She's also never accused me of not taking my meds, which multiple psychs have done when I've said the meds weren't working.

Good luck, anon. I would really mention it (even if it's not the specifics or just saying "I have the urge to pull my hair out frequently") to whoever you are seeing because it can progress.

i don't actually see anyone for anything. this might be a problem, but i'm used to just dealing with things on my own. i don't go out unless i have to (anxiety/depression) and i just don't feel like talking to anyone consistently about my problems, because for me that means having to rehash all of my old trauma to help this stranger understand why i do the shit i do. i know most of why i do what i do and the stemming reason, i just don't go out of my way to do anything to change it.

i also don't take medication for my anxiety/ocd because i have anxiety about new meds and my reactions to them. yes, i'm just that awesome.

does that actually apply to not head hair?

I pull out my eyelashes and sometimes eyebrows. I've consistently not have eyelashes for about ten years and eyebrows on/off. I managed to stop pulling from my head, though at one point I was completely bald.

I know at least one other anon in DWRP who still does eyelashes and eyebrows and formerly did head/privates, one who does their head, and one who will pull anything they can. I know a few more irl.

I'm sorry that other anons do this.

And the neurologist (and psychologists) I've gone to have classified it that way. I've looked into it and compulsive hair pulling of any kind is considered trichotillimania as far as I'm aware!

huh. these were all things i was unaware of. i really do appreciate you clarifying that this is an actual issue and not just me being weird.

Uhh
