I havn't posted for a while, or even been online for a while. My computer broke and I just got it back from the repair shop today. I've been having so many ups and downs lately. Ups have been: work, college, prospect of moving into the dorms soon, and summer weather. Downs have been: my best friend running away again, which has me in a worried frenzy, I'm single again which means I was dumped, people spreading rumors about me, my parents, and I still hate parts of myself. (needed quick rant) So, there was a point to the title of this. I havn't actually cut or peirced anything since January something, but I am still triching. (meaning trichotillomania, which is obsessively pulling out of hair) Some of my friends say that triching is the same thing and that I shouldn't do it, but I don't see triching as being the same thing as self-injury, even though I am getting the same feelings out of it, it calms me and I'm can't stop. Hair falls out naturally every day, people even shave their heads, wax their legs, pluck their eyebrows, and all that fun stuff. So, I was just wondering what everyone else thought, is it self-injury or just some weird OCD act that I do? |
