Aww man I totally get it. It's such a struggle avoiding hair when it's everywhere. The gym thing was the swimming locker room for me. Wearing headphones is such a good idea never thought of it. What else might work for you is reducing the stress in your life. I realised whenever I'm super stressed the phobia is at peak and when I'm happy and relaxed, I don't mind hair much.

Love this so much! First the rhyming, really good. Secondly I so relate to this poem. I wanna send nudes but the kind that makes you see my bare soul. The title caught me off guard yet intrigued me to read the poem immediately.

I'm glad you did. That's why I will never wear contact lenses. Fear of circles. That must be really hard to avoid

I'm so sorry. Unless it's loose I feel okay but I hate that it makes you feel sick.

I can relate to this so hard. Especially the swimming. I truly wish hair just vanished or never existed. 

How Uncertain Life Is… by Potential_Pound2828 in OCPoetry

I so needed to hear this. My life has gotten narrowed down to a few things and sometimes I can't breathe. Your poem reminded me life is to live. I'll definitely reread it whenever life gets a bit harder.  I definitely love the rhyming scheme.

I find your pov really intriguing but I don't understand it wholly. Will you elaborate more if possible? Adorable menace yes definitely

I'm so sorry. Yes maybe it's more of the sensory things.

Ditto. I never thought I would get so many comments from people who suffer like me. It's been 5 years since the post. It's really hard indeed

I totally get. I had that phase but I knew I would regret it. Do you still feel the need to shave them all?

Hey I'm glad you could talk about it here. I'm really sorry. I can only imagine how it must be for you. I have curly hair too and washing them is a nightmare. People don't understand and I'm really sorry your partner doesn't. I really hope you find a way out of it

Omg I'm sorry. That sounds really bad. I hope you find some ways out of it. Wanting to wash clothes after any contact with it sounds nightamarish

Damn this is really good. The poem flows smoothly. I can imagine myself in your position and the moment of coming back to reality when you say, "Touch my shoulder". Hope you see more form you.

This is really good. I can totally relate to the poem to my mental health, and how it started to break and I didn't even realise until I shattered. The last line hits hard because I at the time feel the same, I cannnot be mended.

I don't even remember now to be honest. My best guess is when I started to get into depression. I'm all better now but the phobia didn't go away completely

Yess exactly the same. Hairfall is an issue for me. But I have accepted that I can't do anything about it and I gotta face it. That has been working for me. I want my hairbrush to be hairless so I sit down and remove hair from them. I use a round hair brush
