Trichotillomania (I'm disorderly)

Through a bunch of personal conversation, Mari and I have found out we have the same disorder. It has manifested itself in different ways, but the underlying disorder is the same. While I’ll let her explain her condition in her blog, my condition mainly consists of picking at my skin and pulling out nose hairs. I hunt for blackheads and blemishes on my arms, head, shoulders, and chest all the time. Removing a bunch of small things or a big nasty thing from my skin gives me a sense of great accomplishment. Sometimes, this accomplishment makes me feel awesome for hours on end, where I remember back to the awesome thing I picked out, what it looked like, how I discarded it, and how powerfulllll I feel. Awful, isn’t it? It’s not something that I want to give up completely since it makes me feel good AND it cleans out my skin, I just need find a better place to do it.

Oh, and I’ll post my absurdity of atheism rebuttals again at the top of the blog once I get them done completely.
