Managing my trichotillomania

-

Living with trichotillomania is tough. Really tough, you pull out your hair . You break your hair off. It sucks. So, how do you deal with it? There are a lot of ways to deal with your trichotillomania. For me,personally, I had to discover how, basically on my own. Oh by the way I will share outfit details at the end of the post!





I didn’t know that people actually posted about their struggles on social media.  I didn’t know that on Pinterest there were those who shared things on trichotillomania. What I did was google. And then as I started to think about it and write about my own experience with this. I learned just how many people were in the same boat as me. 
I had to learn what works for me. I got into wearing wigs. Because my hair is thin and I have bald spots. Trichotillomania has been in my life since middle school actually since I got to Florida from Missouri. I was in an unknown area, I had no familiarity. I couldn’t wonder off on my own and so I sat at home and started to pick at my split ends.  And then I started to find the hairs that felt different than the others.  And then it went from there.Now at 36, I realized how much I needed that release. Trichotillomania happens when I a, bored.I pull when anxious. When my stress is too much to handle. And it is a form of stimming for me.
So, I started to wear wigs. I started to hear for my hair more as an incentive to keep my hands off! I a,Leo go to therapy.  I used to be afraid of what others felt about my wigs. Was it right of me to wear them. Yes these are true thoughts of mine.Still, I got the wigs, and it helps. But the minute I take them off my hands go to make up for lost time. Ugh. And so I got coloring books to help keep me busy! 
It helps too! Mental health is no joke! And you must do what you need to live a healthy happy life! And if some don’t understand or think it is all made up, then let them go or ignore what comes out of their mouths. 





















So, for the outfit I am once again wearing joggers. I still have that damned infection and so dressing comfy takes priority. Screw denim right now!  And I wore a new tee from Disney with them! Yes the Mickey Mouse Obsession is real for now. This is how my brain works. Ugh. Anyways to dress up the joggers I wore some decked out heels in green from Shein and my Gucci bag I am renting from Vivrelle.And of course the wig! My little is in head to toe GAP kids.

Vegan nail polish Pacifica

Ok I think I have found another polish that stays on!This Vega and cruelty free polish is by Pacifica! Pacifica also makes other stuff like makeup , body, and hair products. I have used their makeup, eyeshadow and lip products before. I loved my palette, but my kids decided to destroy it! Anyways, how I ended up with these was when I took my oldest to Ulta with me. We went to Ulta with the intent of a new compact for me besides the shapetapeone by Tarte, because it was not that good. For me! May be fine for you. But it oxidized on my skin. Anyways, we went through the store and got to the polish. And my son picked out all these greens and blues and neon pinks in polish. But the opi and orly do not work on my nails. They peel right off. And then I saw the Pacifica, and said “let’s try these on mommy nails!” I let him pick, and he chose these beautiful colors.  JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

The empress card

 I have been coloring my Rider Waitdeck coloring book. A lot. And if you don’t know , it is a tarot card deck. And wearing this tee I bought from Juniper Fox on instagram is an awesome tie in for this concept of tarot cards. It is a fabulous tee featuring a fabulous fox, juniper. I also had to add the crown because it requires it I think.Shooting these pictures I didn’t want any old place to shoot, and then. I found the flowers, my allergies were not thrilled but my creative mind was. The empress stands for authority and a strong female figure.I am not either of those things, by the way But there is more to the card than that. Th empress is passionate and motherly a “I am woman hear me roar!” Kind of woman. She is not mysterious or a secretive lady like the high priestess. For this card it symbolizes pleasure ,abundance , and fertility. Birth marriage and literal or creative type pregnancy.but there is also a reversed side to the card as with most tarot. The reversed view of the car is
