trichotillomania: when one pulls out their
own hair, eyebrows, and or eyelashes


My story:
I'm here on this website making this profile for any girl, or boy on here who
suffers from trichotillomania. If you do suffer from this god awful disorder, I
feel your pain. I was diagnosed with trich when I was 10 years old. I had no
idea what it was. One day I was sitting on my floor when my mom looked down at
me and noticed I had a bald spot, about the size of a quarter. We kept an eye
on it, but it just kept on getting bigger. Then, one day she noticed me pulling
out my hair while watching tv. I had never even noticed what I was doing to
myself, until she pointed it out. Ever since then I try to stop pulling, but
nothing ever works. It has been four years now, and it has slowly been getting
better, but I do notice that I tend to just play with my hair more instead of
pulling it out. Yet, even more recently it has been acting up. Here come the
bald spots, the scalp pains, and the extra stress, again.

This is the first time Ive seen your page, because I saw a recent quote. I just want to tell you, that I hope you're doing good. I know you don't know me, but if you ever need anyone you can talk to me. I dont know what its like to go through what you're going through. But I do suffer with some stuff. I wish the best for you & I hope that you can over come all of this and find another thing to keep yourself distracted. Im sure it isnt easy what you're going through, but keep your head up beautiful.. things get better in time <3

Thank you. People say comments like this don't help, but personally I think they do. It means a lot, especially coming from people I barely or don't even know. It allows you to realize how many people out there actually care. Whatever you're going through, I hope all is well, and things end in the near future! Stay strong. Xx

Hi lovie! I was thinking of you today, and I was wondering how you were doing! I hope that doesn’t sound ridiculous or creepy. I just hope you’re doing better then before. And if not, there’s always tomorrow. I would really like to see you get better, because beautiful people shouldn’t have to be in so much pain. It really gets me upset to think about you having trich, because it sounds so terribly horrid. Anyway, I thought you were beautiful before I know about trich, and I still do now. You are so incredibly kind, and funny. I think you’re one of the most amazing people i’ve met, and i’ve met many people. Sincerely, Maggie

That doesn't sound ridiculous or creepy at all! You're seriously so sweet, Maggie. I cried reading this, you seriously don't have any idea how much this meant to me. Tomorrow I'm setting a goal for myself to not pull at all! I hope all goes well! I'm super excited, but don't want to disappoint myself :/

Sarah, I'm really proud of you for making this page.I also respect your feelings, I don't know what it feels like to be in your shoes; and that's why I try to not judge people. I think that making this page will help you be able to communicate with people who do have trichotillomania, who feel your pain.Do you pull out your hair due to stress and stuff? Or is it just because of your OCD? Because if it's due to your feelings also, you should try writing in a journal, and maybe even talking to a therapist or something who can help you cope with your feelings and stress. That's just a suggestion that I have that could maybe help you. I'm always here for you, and honestly, I don't think anyone would think you are a weird person for pulling out your own hair. It's not your fault and you can't control that. I still look at you the same way, but i have now even gained more respect for you .Stay strong. Love you & we need to hangout soon so we can catch up <3

You always know exactly what to say. I love you! You seriously don't know how reassuring that comment was. Oh, and it is my OCD that causes it, but stress makes it worse. We definitely need to hangout soon though! :) <3

Maybe you can find something to use to distract yourself? I know that Jane uses silly putty, maybe you could bring something like that to school with you so you can entertain yourself with that..instead of pulling out your hair. you know what i mean? espesh if it's mostly because of your OCD. idk, im just trying to find ways to help you cope with that.

Impulsive Control Disorder.. and yeah, my ex boyfriend had a small bald patch when I dated him, and then all of the sudden he cut his hair really short. I think he has it. We never came out to each other about it though :/

I'm sorry if that came off as rude. But that's not good to hear, its never to late to come out to him if you still talk.

Hey so umm.. I feel really bad asking you of this, but you're becoming really witty famous and I was wondering if you could give me some sort of shout out? I don't care what kind or anything, I would just really appreciate it. I really want other people on here with trich to feel comfortable with me and telling me their stories! :)
