    Last time I shaved it felt like my chin had been amputated

      I inadvertently switched my thrichotillamania to my beard a few years ago.

      I miss it terribly. Shaving is so much work, and while it’s relaxing, inevitably an ingrown hair pops up and retriggers everything anyway when I attempt to grow it back.

      I’ve been worried I permanently destroyed it like the guy in the meme, but I had my thumb bound up for 5ish weeks and it came back in nicely before I decimated it again.

      Amputation is a very accurate description
