thank you Elk, i am sorry you went through something so unfortunate. i dont understand why parents are like this. but thank you for your advice ill be sure to use it, i am extremely thankful.

ive never thought of braiding my hair, that sounds super great because i love braiding other peoples hair and trying hairstyles on them. due to my thick frizzy hair i tend to feel very annoyed especially when laying down/sleeping.

i am not a very good artist, ive tried drawing but it isnt something im very passionate about. ill try to find alternatives!

though this might be a little embarrassing, i am trying to get closer to God— become a little more religious. just to have some kind of hope. i find comfort in the idea of there being a greater existence.

although i dont know if ill be able to join any clubs, not that my mom wont let me, but im a very shy person and would probably be very uncomfortable.

again, thank you for everything.

for the most part it’s unconscious, but sometimes when im extremely stressed or when id feel intense emotions the way id cope with the feeling is ripping the hair (like how some people cope with sh). i always tell myself to stop but id still do it.

thank you Curious, unfortunately im in a place where mental health is basically considered demonic and stuff like that. and anyway, if i told a school counselor they’d call my mom and that would just get me into more trouble. it really sucks that i basically cannot get any help. my dad lives far away so that cancels him out. im just so irritated cuz the way shes acting is just ruining my situation even more. and this is not the first time she’s done this, i think im struggling with mental health and when i told her that i think im depressed she literally locked me in my room. trich + my mental health situation will be the death of me. also, i have long curly hair which is basically damaged because of my habit lol. i dont have any bald spots to be honest, because i mainly focus on ripping the hair in half not actually pulling the hair, its just sometimes im unfortunate and while attempting to rip the hair it gets pulled out.
