.....Most of it is true, so far as I've read. At least as far as I'm concerned (and have noticed), I exhibit most of the stereotypes of a dermatillomaniac:
I'm not addicted to any sort of drug
I've only even tried pot once...
I've always been an overachiever in school
Finished high school 3rd in my class, 3.96 GPA out of 4.0
Finished college (first in my family to get a Bachelor's degree!) with a 3.26
Basically put myself thru school financially, with the help of gov't loans, which I'll have to pay back....
I've always participated in extracurriculars throughout high school and college:
Wrestling
Concert/Marching/Pep Band
Math Club
Science Club
Art Club
Zeta Phi Eta (Honorary Communication Fraternity)
Volunteer Note Taking (For Students with Disabilities)
I'm actually really good at hiding my dermatillomania, which I've noticed about many others who share this condition with me.
I'm a bit of a facebook stalker (sorry!), so I like to click on profiles of those who are in my dermatillomania groups with me. And I've got to say, we're HOT! The profile pics that I've seen of us, we're out there, being social, looking good, hanging out! Seriously, we should all be make-up artists or something, because we're really good at hiding our condition from the world with our make-up in our pictures.
I just found this really ironic, that those of us with such a devestating condition would photograph so well!!
What a bunch of hotties we are!!

Stay strong, we can beat this, and look good doing it, too!!!!

As a sufferer of dermotillomania myself, I too also meet most of the stereotypes and I just wanted to share that I facebook stalk too :P and I also agree that we all do a really good job of hiding our disorders. Anyone I've ever told about it also replies with shock, they always say that they never really noticed. We really are the hardest on ourselves and sometimes it's not as bad as we make it.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that I love your blog, found the link through the Dermotillomaina Facebook Group. I know it's not easy to come out and do what you've done with this blog so you should be extremely proud of yourself! I hope your battle is going well!
Sincerely,
Danielle
I'm glad you like it! =)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm really glad that someone out there is actually reading this thing. Lol.
