If this gains more than 500 notes, I’ll include another item and set a new goal for a new item! So here are some rules:

- You must be following me. This is a giveaway for only my followers so it is a requirement. If you unfollow me after the giveaway, you will be blocked from future ones.
- You must live within the United States of America, or cover your own shipping if you live outside. Sorry. I’m doing this out of my own pocket.
- You must reblog this main post to enter. Each reblog will be counted as one entry. Likes will work as bookmarks and won’t be counted. No giveaway blogs or reblogging to multiple side blogs. Be courteous to your followers as well.

if you have any other tips, or want to say whether any of the things listed have/haven’t worked for you, reblog and add them on!
Self-Help for BFRBs
The “Keep Your Hands Busy” Method
- Wear a spinner ring and fiddle with it when you want to pull/pick/etc
- Stitch, knit, or crochet
- Play with a Tangle toy or similar fidget toy
- Playdoh or Silly Putty
- Sit on your hands
- Make a friendship bracelet or some other kind of jewelry
- Fiddle with something like a rubber band
The “Barrier” Method
- Wear gloves
- Put on fake nails (these make it harder to pick and pull)
- Cover skin with clothing or bandages
- Wear a hat, hood, or bandana (try wearing it to bed!(
- Wet down your hair (which makes it harder to pull since it’s slippery)
- Apply lotion to your skin (this makes it harder to pick)
- Avoid or cover up mirrors
- Put bandaids over your finger tips
The “Competing Response” Method
- Squeeze your fists for 60 seconds
- Practice diaphragmatic (deep belly) breathing
- Wet down your hair
- Wash your hair
- Brush your hair instead of pulling it
- Paint your nails
- Pet an animal or touch something soft
- Chew gum
- Stimulate your senses - wash your hair, massage your skin or your scalp, hold something cold like ice, etc
The “Reducing Anxiety” Method
- Practice deep breathing exercises
- Meditate
- Practice mindfulness
- Practice grounding exercises
- Take a shower or bath
- Write about your feelings
- Every time you want to pick/pull/bite/etc, write it down and put it in a jar. Imagine that intrusive thought being sealed in that jar.
- Avoid caffeine before bed time
- Go for a walk. Get outside!
- Distract yourself
The “Community and Support” Method
- Join a support group
- Join this network
- Find other BFRBers on Tumblr (bfrbdirectory)
- Find a therapist
- Help other people
- Learn about your BFRB
- Try hypnotherapy
- Talk to another person with a BFRB

- Trichotillomania (trichotillosis; hair pulling disorder) is the compulsive urge to pull out (and in some cases, eat) one’s own hair leading to noticeable hair loss, distress, and social or functional impairment.
- It is classified as an impulse control disorder
- is often chronic and sometimes is difficult to treat
- The scalp is the most common pulling site, followed by the eyebrows, eyelashes, face, arms, and legs. Less common areas include the pubic area, underarms, beard, and chest.
- Support colors: blue (hair loss; addiction), orange (body focused repetitive behaviors), silver/white (anxiety/mental disorders) [x]
- Medical Diagnosis Code: 312.39
- Sister disorders: Dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking); Onychophagia (compulsive nail biting); Dermatophagia (compulsive biting of the skin, particularly around the fingernails)
Ways To Cope:
- Throw away your tweezers/pulling devices OR give them to someone you trust
- Tell someone trusted – get it off your chest and ask them to help you conquer it
- Participate in The Butterfly Project
- Keep your hands busy and out of your hair– silly putty, stress balls, knitting, small toys, puzzles, spinner rings etc
- How to knit/crochet
- Spinner Rings
- Trichotillomania Learning Center helps; has meet ups, treatment options, etc
- Count Your Days on a calender
- Set Day Goals - Have a trusted friend pick one for you; have a long term goal (ex: a year) and a short term goal (ex: two weeks) – when goals expire, set new ones
- Snap your wrists with rubberbands or hairties when you feel the urge to pull (pain association; be careful, this can get addictive)
- Reduce your stress - ways to reduce stress
- Put tape/band-aids on your fingertips to make it hard to pull
- Many of the things cutters/burners do to prevent the urge to cut/burn can be applied to preventing pulling (A list)
- Wear hats.
This post is brought to you by someone who is almost 2 years pull free without any drugs or doctor interaction. It is possible, it just takes a lot of work!
- Note: Relapsing is normal. (I relapsed twice.) Don’t use it as an excuse to give up!
Don’t meet up with someone you met online who’s from Connecticut. They could be a pilgrim or something.
