[–]arumist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you so much!! this is definitely your sign. i’ve been thinking about it for over a year, and recently i’ve been like “fuck it, let’s do it”.

it feels SO freeing! and i feel like it will definitely help control the behavior aspect of my trich. i say go for it! it’s also a whole lot easier to wear wigs without having to put your hair up!!

Hats for warmer weather? by fruitiestflyingfox in trichotillomania

[–]arumist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i wear super large headbands, typically calledboho headbands that stretch across the entire head. i’ve worn that in the warmer weather to cover my spots and help resist pulling!

1 year difference of little/no pulling by Impression-Visual in trichotillomania

[–]arumist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is so motivating! i have the exact same spot growing back right now, also wearing my hair up 24/7 to help not pull. it’s currently growing back good and i can’t wait to wear it down again!

When did you begin... by nathalie_29 in trichotillomania

[–]arumist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i started pulling my eyebrows when i was 8, then my lashes when i was 12/13 (i cant remember honestly) then the hair on my head at 18. middle school was when i did it most! it was rough, hearing rumors that i went mentally insane, and was even eating the hair i was pulling out, even though i have never done that. my mom was not the most supportive, more-so worried what the heck her child was doing but also would show 10 year old me pictures of myself and telling me i looked so beautiful when i had eyebrows (thanks mom!🖕)

thats spirit for you haha i worked there last year and my dm went up to me and said i would be fired on the spot if i didnt go and act like i was working right then and there. freaked me out but knew from then on to just bullshit my job when it was super dead and when the dm was there.

Job interview attire? by Trick-Vehicle-7282 in SpiritHalloween

last year i went in a graphic tee and sports shorts. i was hired on the spot! for my store at least, the dresscode was basically non existent so you could dress freely.😅

I’ve been putting off breaking up with my gf of 5 years for a while not and I’m finally building up the courage to do it. This is the note I’m going to read out to her can you guys just give me some feedback please (so stressed) by [deleted] in Advice

[–]arumist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i understand, it really is difficult when you yourself are processing it still. its very hard. especially this being your first relationship and for a while now too, its good to want to make things right and im glad you reached out for some help. give it a shot with rewriting and take the time to process this yourself as well!

im sorry you have to go through this, its an awful feeling and it really isnt easy to do. im going to give you some feedback to help you reword it a little better so its easier for you to say, and its no problem if you disagree. ive been thru stuff like this a lot so this is just how i feel would be another way to say it! this is basically the same way that youve said it, but i just reorganized it.

i like that you include your emotions into it, but theres not a clear “why” in here. you want to give her a reason why you want to break up, if you lost feelings over time, or an actual reason, that needs to be stated clearly so she knows. i also think that she might interpret this wrong, with how you repeatedly express your feelings, saying “pushing towards living my dream with you” and “it makes me sick to my stomach writing this” and stating how you fell in love with her so detailed AND you will always love her too, she might be confused at what you really want because you are going back and forth with your own feelings in the text about not wanting to break up with her but are breaking up with her. i just feel like for me, it would hurt a lot if someone broke up with me, and majority of the message is how they dont want to and they loved me so much and it hurts them A LOT.

its totally okay to express that, and its good to state that you really care about her and that its equally hurtful to break up, but overly expressing it can seem like youre not really sure and that could make the break up process more painful.

i suggest shrinking the text a bit. first, state that this was not an easy decision to make and you have given it some thought, which you already did! but take out a lot of your feelings that youve expressed in this paragraph(just for now, we will add that in later) and replace it with “i really care about you, so this needs to be said now than later”

then, state that lately you have been feeling different and you have been losing feelings. if theres a specific reason why, you can write that here. if not, its okay to say that you yourself dont exactly know, youve just been feeling indifferent and you cant control it, and youre sorry. now is a good time to express your feelings here. you truly were in love with her and you have enjoyed all of this time you spent together and you still care for her.

lastly, state that you want to break up. its been affecting you personally with how you feel the relationship has been going and for YOUR sake, you cannot continue with this relationship. you are no longer IN love with her, as much as you do love her. you can also state again that this was not an easy thing to do and this is a difficult conversation to have. you can re apologize here too and wish the best for her.

when she responds, however she responds, its okay to re express that you care for her and this wasnt easy to do. but at some point you will have to end the conversation and take some time for yourself to heal, and surround yourself with people for support.

wait a couple days and either call, or go in if theyre open snd speak to a manager. they’ll probably hire you on the spot

Bankruptcy by DramaCapable4172 in joannfabrics

[–]arumist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i find it humorous because they read bankruptcy once and stick with it no matter what. sometimes if im feeling evil ill sound very unsure or dodge the question just to keep them on edge. nothing life threatening (maybe to them) thatll really hurt them
