`Your probally about... 17 or 18 now. But I wanted to know if you have found away to stop. I think you looked beutiful with out your hair. And though kids you had to deal with at school... Well, I am learning that Kids are peranahs... I don't have Trich, I don't know anyone that does. But I want you to know, that you are beautiful, and I love that even though you are hurt, you are telling others that they are not alone, in the hopes that it will help them.
I don't have trich but I know people that do, I feel for you. And I wanted to let you know that you are beautiful with or without your hair! My sister had cancer and she alway hated how she looked without her hair, I thought she looked beautiful either way. I'm not saying that's the same thing but it shouldn't matter what you look like. Feelings and your heart should. Those are what makes people beautiful!
Ive had trich for over half my life and it's ruined it. You have really helped me in knowing there are more people out there with this and i thank you so much :)
I dont have this disorder but I've struggled with an eating disorder and have been abused in my lifetime and have asked myself "why me". I'm sure you ask yourself that but just remember we all have problems. I've been struggling with depression for 5 years now and I've had counseling and medicine. Nothing works. The only thing that does give me some hope is knowing God is with me. I would urge you to seek his guidance and help bc through him, all things are possible:)
i have aids.i'm adicted to crack.my penis is 1 inch long.i have an eating disorder.obsesive-compulsive disorder.schizoprenia,bipolar,asthma,alergies to almost everything,i'm blind and i'm typing this with my 1 inch penis cuz i have no hands.i'm jealous of you,stop crying
sorry youtube wouldnt let me carry on. i am 23 years old and have had this for 10 years and have now got to the point where im thinking fuck this, its my life and i deserve to be happy and live it fully. the book is really helping me and after ten very long years i havent pulled a hair from my head in 7 day. doesnt sound like much, but trust me this is a minute to minute habit for me so 7 day is amazing. give it a go, chin up darling, you are alot stronger than you think.
yes, i also for a very very long time believed i was incredibly weird and had something very wrong with me for doing this. honey you are a very very brave girl. mine is not so bad that its noticable, as soon as a spot gets bad i force myself to move on so it doesnt get worse. get hold of a book called ''whats wrong with pulling my hair out?'' by a lady named abby leora rohrer. its a very inspirational book and it helps you realise whats going on under neath and behind the scenes.
Jesus I thought I was alone I suffer from this and I am 13 years old I and have done it since I was 6 also I truly believe that u can tackle it i have black hair and it's so noticeable and don't let those basterds get ur wig they're dicks and for me it's hard cause being a 13 year old boy because all the people that seem to notice it are girls :(
I have trich and I know what it's like, it really sucks, especially if your parents don't know that you have it. It really sucks to have your family say " You're a really pretty girl, why do you hurt yourself?" but nobody knows what it's like... I have to keep it a secret from everybody. You can't do normal things... it's really hard.
You are such an unbelieveable person to make this video.. I know exactly how you feel, my own dad called me a freak for years because he couldn't understand this habit I couldn't help, MY OWN DAD!! I'm lucky I'm male and am fair haired so people don't notice so much that my eyelashes and eyebrows are being destroyed, but what I always wry about is if I have my own kids, esp a daughter and what torture she might go through.. it makes me feel like I should never have kids...
To be honest...with or with out the wig...you are really pretty. I mean...im going through the same stuff and its hard hiding it... I get made fun of and joked on and its hard. But your not alone. Hang it there. Cause im right with you
I've suffered from this for the past 6 years, and I did want to tell you you ARE beautiful (seriously), and you are clearly not alone, and it can get better. <3
Please try baby steps... I really suggest buying the square graph-paper, and simply checkboxing it using the pomodoro method. Get ten check-mmarksin a row and reward yourself. Sweetheart you deserve better.
Being told you can stop it must have been the worst because you know it's something you're doing to yourself. But you just CAN'T control it! You. Are. Beautiful! No matter what! Hair or no hair! And your frustrating tries to stop pulling WILL pay off! Stay strong! I believe in you! :') <3333 Your story touched my heart.
You are so strong. I don't have trich. And I know I can't understand, but I do commend you for being incredibly brave. ...I feel. So much pain for you. I'm crying. Your sadness and struggle ....is just .......heart breaking. ....You are so tough, girl! Those kids from school are just bullies! You are amazing for being able to withstand all you've been through.
Even if you were completely bald, sweetheart, you will always be gorgeous. I love your face, like a porcelain doll. I have this issue too, and I'm a 27 year old female. I had no clue until today that anyone else has this problem. You are such an inspiration. You're outstanding bravery and sincere need to get awareness of this problem is so honorable. You're such a wonderful girl. Thank you so very much! <3
Thank you so much for making this, I'm 13 and I started hair pulling last year it's gotten to the point where the bald spots were too big to cover up, my dad was really helpful and got me a wig. But I'm going into high school this year and I'm so scared that someone is going to pull it off or find out that it's a wig, and my head is shaven, I'm so scared and wish I had someone to talk to about this. :'( but it's nice to know I'm not alone and to hear someone like yourself talking about it rathe
I was suffering with this same thing. I only felt confident when I had my eyelashes, but I found out how to stop myself!. Check out my blog for how to stop it, go on my channel and look at my website
You are so brave to make this video. I cried along with you. I also pull my hair, brows and lashes to relax myself during high stress times. I hope you have learned to manage it since this video.
i cried with you while watching this. you're so brave. i have trich too so i know how you feel. it just makes my self-esteem go down the toilet. and i feel shitty not having to go out and have fun whenever/wherever i want. but lately i've been feeling more confident about myself. just remember that we're beautiful--hair or not. screw what others say. <3
I know it been a while and I know u made a video after this but I want to tell you that no matter what you are a beautiful girl. I know that you can get through this. I have trich to and I know how hard it can be. I pull me eyebrows and eyelashes. I recently stopped with my brows and they are almost fully grown in and I've gone 3 days without pulling at my lashes. I just think when I'm about to do it, " Think about all the bad things thy come from this." and my mom told me that I might be able
Your so brave for talking about it.You are very pretty and I hope people support you. I have a friend who has trich and she wears a wig too.she feels embarrassed and alone. I hope your life is wonderful
I don't hide it. It sucks, obviously. I'm 13 and I have a huge bald spot on the left side of head. I tell anyone who asks, it's not a big secret because if I tell people, they can help remind me to stop. I wish I was a boy so I could just shave it all off.
Please listen all trichitillomania sufferers!!! I have found a way to control my urges, I have been pulling my eyelashes and eyebrows for 10 years, now like most of you, I guess, it is down to stress! I have found that a course of acupuncture really helped, I went to a chines medicine shop I have regular acupuncture , maybe once a week for 6 weeks, and a course of de-stressing tablets that I took everyday for the entire course that she recommended, I can honestly say it changed my life, instead
I think you are incredibly brave. You are such a star for even doing this. I don't know what it's like to have Trichotillomania, but I do understand the compulsions as I have Trichotemnomania, which is obsessive hair cutting. I currently look like I have a mohawk. :/
I hope everything gets better for you, that you beat this because you're so strong. And you're beautiful.
At 14, you are more courageous than i have ever been. I remember everyone of my hats and how awful they smelled. You're right though, its easier for us guys b/c we can hide it. I've shaved my head for 14 years and for everyone of those years i've wanted hair. Guys cant wear wigs unfortunately. The ironic thing is, now i'm losing my hair naturally and at 25 a cul de sac isnt all that attractive. haha. We can let our personal tragedies rule us or we can rise above. I hope for your sake you soar.
I also have trich. It started when i was 9. I'm 15 now. I pull out my eyelashes. No one but my family knows I have it. I'm scared of how they will react knowing I have this disorder. Before seeing all these videos, I thought I was alone or a "freak" because of how I looked. Your video especially helped me. It gives me courage and comfort. Thank you so much! :)
you are unbelieveably brave! it is the hardest thing ever to expose x i also suffer from this and can feel your pain, you will get throught this, you are dealing with it in the right way. It will be a slow process but you can do it !! keep strong and thank you so much for sharing and helping others xx
i feel your pain i just pulled out close to all my eyelashes and i am in tears right now thank you for this video all my prayers go out to people with this disorder
You are so brave. I've never even told anyone about my trich. My best friend of 6 yrs has never even seen me with my hair down. I do my best to hid my bald spots in a pony tail. I can't afford a wig. I'm always nervous in job interviews b/c I'm afraid they can tell I have bald spots. I get so nervous that my voice cracks, it's no wonder I can't get a job. I'm so depressed.
Hey my name is Haylee. I looked at This video and the one where ur almost cured. I have trich too. And I've been being really....mistreated lately by these messed up chicks. but i pull my eyelashes and head hair. I might be making a video too. but...yah. i thot i was alone and crazy so...no i know...im not. this is my sisters youtube account so if you want you can txt me. my # is 9188578914 thx bye
I love you!!! I'm 26 and I have trich too. I am missing 1/3 of the hair on my head and it is getting really difficult to hide. I am sure people can see it even though my friends tell me its fine. I recently bought hair extensions to try to fill in the bald areas but its harder than i thought. BLEH
i have had it for a year now and i have a bald spot on the top of my head and im really short so its really noticable and i just hate it and my school doesn't allow hats so i can't hide it... its from stress and i started because im depressed T_T
i know how it is because i have it to only i am in luck because i only pull my eyelashes and eyebrows from time to time and even that make's me feel like shit and you'r brave for telling it to the world that's more then i can say about me i still try to hide but lately i am telling more and more about me to my friends but good luck with this and i hoop things ged better fore you
That I have this, because I pulled all of my eyelashes outrecently u.u I now to cope with it and trying to notnpull out my eyebrows and eyelashes I always feelmreally stupid, I try to pull on my skin like, by my eyebrows, but I don't pull my eyebrows hairs, just the skin now to like feel like I pulling the hairs u.u I hope you donthave to suffer anymore, because you seem sweet please don't cry ^^ were all hee to support!
I hope you are well. I'm 56 and I have had this since I was 17. I was told that when I was a baby my head was shaved because I was pulling out my hair. I stopped pulling 11 years. I still have bald spots. I am using rogain and it seems to be coming in. The people who are so unkind to you have a whole different problem apart from yours. Don't let them define you.
I know how it feels your not alone, I'm now 14 years old and I have been pulling my hair since I was 4 years old. I've been through teasing and long nights of crying wishing that I never was born with this. I'm finally now recovering from my Trich and my hairs almost back. I would like to let everyone know that there is a vitamin that worked for me and has been proven to help people with trichotilamania and it's called anatyl- cystine.
@818cheerfreak1 yeah im 14 too :) i started when i was 7 and im taking some medicin thats working im not sure whats its called. but its really hard
dealing with this. there are some BITCHY ppl out there who like to tease and mock. the call me the no eyelash freak with bald spots and tell me to go look for old mad hair regroth stuff T_T
Im 23 and have had trich since I was younger, I actually dont know when I started. Somehow I have managed to hide it all these years because not even my parents really the know the full extent of what I do. Within the last couple of years I have started telling people about it which has helped me alot.
You are truely an inspiration and I commend you for the courage to post this video in order for others to understand. You are gorgeous no matter what!! xoxo
i had i it when i was a 8 and stop when i was 9 hated it i i would do it random place so it wouldnt show i did it my with my glasses and fingers . Its was caused by my OCD
Part 3; and now these bald spots. It's embarassing, and I'm ashamed. I'm hopefully going to talk to my school counselor tomorrow, and see my psychiatrist, but if you could contact me, that'd be awesome. even though this just started, like the cutting, this isn't going to go away. So I could use someone to help me, who knows what it's all about. Thank you, I love you for making this video!!
Part 2; "Miranda show Clarissa what you did to yourself" I asked her what she was talking about, and she said "Your bald spot" in the middle of the hallway. And my friend, Clarissa, who can never take things seriously laughed, and they pestered me to show it. I ran down the stairs, and told them to shut the f*** up. It was horrible. I have depression, and anxiety with traits of OCD, and now this. I have scars that cover my thighs, hip, and wrists, and I'm tired of hiding stuff. I hide my cuts,
Part 1; My name is Miranda, I'm 14, and I recently started pulling my hair out. it started with pulling out eyebrow hairs, to where they're so uneven i have to flll them in, they're practically gone. Then I'm missing my upper lashes on one eye, and I've recently started pulling hair out on my scalp. It started on Monday, 2 days ago, and so fart, I've ripped about a 2" by 1" area along my hairline out. Today, I showed my best friend, and she seemed accepting. then she said later,
Your absolutely beautiful! You've got a wonderful baby face and a fantastic smile. I have what you have no doubt except I pull the hairs out of my face so my facial hairs grow back in patches. What really counts is that wonderful personality of yours because all the beauty in the world couldn't possibly measure up to what you hold inside of you. Never forget just how bright your spirit shines.
Part 2- I know they are both different struggles, but I guess I'm just trying to say that if you ever need someone to talk to or rant to, I'm available [:
You are such a beautiful and amazing girl, don't let anyone tell you otherwise no matter what.
Part 1-Hey, I know you made this a super long time ago. But, I just want to say that I am so proud of you and your courage to post this video! I'm sure you helped many people with Trichotillomania as well as comforting them and telling them they are not alone. I am touched by your video.
I never experienced it, but however, since the age of 12 I started cutting myself. I am one year recovered by the end of this month, but I know how it feels to be alone and made fun of for it.
Oh, Hun don't let ppl bring you down like that im 14 an have a friend like that an i know what yur going thru! I cryed seeing you cry an You are very brave to tell this! Im really proud of you! <3
You're awesome. You're such a sweet girl. I suffer from the same thing and I'm 17 years old. I have had this for 7 years. It practically ruins my life. I feel ugly and "un"-normal. I have not found anything to help it yet. I'm right with you and if you ever need to talk, email me please! I have no one to talk about it either. No one understands. Good luck. xoxo
Thanks for making this video. I also suffer from trichotillomania, but a weird type: make huge knots in my hair and then pull them out. I want to stop soooo bad, people keep telling me to stop doing it but Ijust can't help it.
It does feel good to know that I'm not alone, though. Cause I used to think I was till I started talking about it and realised it actually affects many people!
Anyway... good luck, you're a beautiful girl, and brave too! Keep your chin up!
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, NO MATTER HOW MUCH HAIR YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO PULL, YOU ARE GORGEOUS! and you will always be, WILL ALWAYS BE, TO ME EYES AND TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON WITH AN HONEST HEART.
You are breaking my heart! You are so beautiful you don't even need that wig. You are worth so much more than your hair. Thank you for sharing your story, your pain. I suffered with trich as a teenager tho not real bad. Today I'm cured, so their is hope. Please love yourself! You are a precious jewel! ~ Debbie

its opened my eyes big time! i dont know what or how im going to do this, but i have to stop! thanks for being there for other people who battle with this. it is much appriciated!
im 22 and trying to stop trich and dermatillomania. i have small bald spots all over my scalp from pulling, and my haed is sore from picking. i cried my eyes out watching this because i am you! and now i see what happens you cannot stop! i cant stop, and so it just makes me cry harder because i know if i dont i will lose all of my hair. itfalls out by the handful already, and is a big problem. anyway, i wantedto tell you that you are so beautiful and im so proud that you could open up in thisway
you're just like me. i'm 15 and my trich started when i was 6 years old. i've spent my whole childhood thinking that everyone was right and that i could control it, and i just wasn't strong enough but i know better now. i started wearing a wig when i was 14 and it's still hard - i'm always worried someone is going to yank it off in the hallway at school. but you're an amazing person...i understand everything that you're going through and you need to know you're not alone. and you're gorgeous!
on a sidenote, you are self-aware of your issue, or atleast its physical manifestation
and that gives you some direction on how to "fight" it, however you should seek counseling, apart from trying to create an environment for yourself of interdependent communication and creativity, well its easier said than done, good luck
hair grows back, as long as you don't get any infection in the damaged hairsacks
or if you reach an age where they don't regrow, which mostly happens to males around + 35, so keep on shaving, and try to focus on anything positive, hobbies, games, sports etc..
dont cry!! :( everything will be ok. i just today hved my hea, cuz i couldnt take it anymore....so ive been wearing my jack skeleton beanie :/ i plan to g buy a wig soon. i know its hard, very stressful, but im praying for you and if you need someone to talk to, im always here :)
i think you are a beautiful person, i really do. and i also think that you are so brave for putting this video up here for the world to see, i know that must've been hard. i'll be praying for you, but just know that you are beautiful and that so many people love and support you. <3 god bless.
I have suffered with Trichotillomania in silence for over 30 years and JUST NOW at 41 found the courage to admit it publicly. I personally never had this much hair missing at any one time but I fully empathize with this young lady and hope she finds the courage to stop! Please Join me for more info on TTM on Facebook at the "Trichotillomania(TTM)Awareness" page.
My 11 yr old brother started at age 2 with his eyebrows, stopped and started with his scalp in 3rd grade,stopped,but now that he is in mddle school he started with his scalp again, i am 19,his older sister, and idk how to help him..he says he doesnt remember doing it and its painless..what can you recommend for him? how can i help? btw,where is this support center in long beach located exacly
I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone, I have trich and im 39 years old, i only just began the battle of the hair, it was always the eyes for me, i was the same way, couldnt enjoy my life, and still cant, but i didnt know what i had until i was 28 years old, i never had support, i was always teased,, life was not as bad as yours, i didnt pull from the head much, but the eyes were & still are a huge issue, now my hair is bald a bit in spots, if you have good friends they wont care.
Hey your video really shocked me, I have long Trico and have been trying to grow my hair but I couldnt, recently the impulse fell back and I finished almost completely bald and depressed, at home no one understands what happens to me and no one cares they are used to it . In college my friends do not understand why I always like to wear short hair I'm really desperate and alone, I dont have anyone to talk about it. would be nice if we could talk and I want to know how did you recover completely
thank you for posting this. i am the mother of a beautiful daughter who is going through the same thing, and i am trying to understand and get her help. keep your head up, you are beautiful!
it does stop for me is when im on the bus going home. Never happens to me at home, only when im in the bathroom in front of the mirror. I think its due to all the energy in your body is built up and pulling releases the energy in your body, that and stress, or anxiety. For the people out there that wonder, "why does he do that to himself" Newsflash for you, Do you think we enjoy going through this?!?
The best way I can explain it is... When u pull its a Cold, tingling , relaxing feeling. And the texture you feel when u pull feels like its irritating you, so you pull it, Weird thing is, This only happens to me with the Shortest hairs, never the long fully grown ones, only the course ones. i stopped for about 2 months, then today, At school I just had a breakdown about it, and i couldnt stop. Once you pull one, you HAVE to pull another, and another, and another. And it doesnt stop. Only time
I am a man. I have it. It is harsh to have to pencil in my eyebrows. I can't look a woman in the eyes. If a woman gets close, I look down or get away. Because wearing make-up is feminine, trich basically kills a masculinity. Of course, long hair is important to a woman's femininity, too. I have to go to work tomorrow, and I am fearing others reactions to my newest pulling. I'm sure my mom's judging and shaming has made it worse for me, even all of these years later. Thanks.
im a guy and it isnt easy :( , everyday i have to deal with people thinking i am a weirdo because i dont have eyelashes. I use to pull pretty much all my hair however I was able to stop and now all I pull is my eyelashes. I can't have a relationship however because girls think I am a creepy weirdo because i don't have any eyelashes :( I want to stop but the longest i have gone without pulling them is a week.
you were very brave to shout out to the world about your problem and i respect that so much. ive had trich for 5 years now and i also wear a wig and live in fear of being exposed. ive tried to stop but it doesnt work. but im gunna keep pushing and keep trying. your my inspiration to try and stop. i know what you are living as you know what im living. we both live in fear of what the world will think of us. i hope to hear from you. and just want to say thankyou.
Aww hunnie :( Its not your fault... it kinda upset me :( Everyone has alot of problems ... but the main key is think about yourself don't let anyone put you down - if they do just ignor it all and lift yourself back up :) You will all ways have a lot of support from your family and other people around you :) .... Just think positive and tell yourself it will get better :) Best wishes for the feature :)x
Hey girl I too have been pulling my hair since I was 13 and I am 50 years old now
and don't think the hair on the top of my head will ever grow back and I think about it constantly and look in the mirror in the bright sunlight to make sure that the top of my head is covered.
I use this spray for balding men and have extentions and wear hats and it is the most messed up part of my life but I love life and I am happy in so many other ways ...........you are wonderful for sharing.
I have Trichotillomania, i pull out my eyelashes, i was doing so well and they started growing back and last night i messed it up again and im now missing the entire middle section of my eyelashes on my left eye. I really wish I didnt have this, I look weird trying to put on mascara and no matter how bad I want to stop I really cant and im scared ill lose all my eyelashes and they wont grow back.
Hey hun, I have had severe trich for over 10 years now, and I'm proud to say that I have been able to grow 4 inches of hair. I still pull from time to time, but the majority of my hair is grown out. I'm really not sure what helped me stop pulling so often. I know that meeting my fiance helped out A LOT. He was so supportive of me and his positive attitude rubbed off on me I guess you could say. You can do it hun. You just REALLY gotta want it.

I know exactly what your talking about. I pull out every hair in my body, literally. Mostly my eyelashes eyebrows and head hair.I remember those nights where my eyelashes would be halfway back and I would sit i my bathroom and everytime I would pull out an eyelashes I would put a cut on my arm. It got so bad that my parents saw...I would wake up in the morning and have cuts all over my arms and legs and have no eyelashes or eyebrows ...again. I dont know how to email on youtube email me please.
I also suffer from this problem. I know that antidepressants infuriate the problem. So does the Sodium lauryl sulphate in every shampoo. The one thing I have found that helps is using Vaseline intensive care moisturizer which at least takes the tension off the damaged scalp. As far a cure goes: I also know of none.
I sit here... watching this.. and I cant stop pulling out the TINY hairs on my face... Ive been doing it for 3 years... its gotten to the point where tweezers and small scissors have to be hidden from me... Ive attacked my face to the point where it bleeds sometimes.. I do it when Im stressed.. i do it when I watch tv.. i do it constantly and i dont even realize it... I thought I was crazy... I was told I was.... U are so brave <3 and i just wanted to thank you for posting this.. <3
Thank-you for being strong and sharing this. OCD is a vicious thing. You will be able to stop this when you find out what is missing in your life. Find out what is missing.
listen ashley, my name is heather and i have the same exact problem only i pull out my hair and sometimes not really at all my eyelashes. I started when i was 9 years old first i started pulling out my hair on my head from the top but then it got really bad and i went to the back of my head then i started pulling out my eyelashes then my eyebrowsit was horrible i am now 16 years old and still have the erge to do it now you are a very pretty girl and you can be strong like me i understand ur pain
You are not alone - this video made me cry because it made me remember the same feelings I have had during the lowest times suffering with trich.
You are so brave for sharing - I am inspired. When I was 14 (which is when it started for me), I had no idea what was happening to me. I'm 28 years old now and it still affects me everyday. But it gets easier - believe me.
For me, God was the biggest support and strength in the world.
You are an angel and I will be praying for you. *hugs*
man... something i noticed is that once i went through a certain time of my life, i stopped caring what people thought... so when i finally came out and told people "dude, i have no eyelashes" instead of others NOTICING that i didnt have any... it felt different. i hope u feel better hun. and also, i wanted to tell you... my mom told me about these wigs that she had been getting... they are sooooooo natural looking, and u can go swiming with them! i'll get the link from my mom and come back
I know how you feel when you say that there are so many things that you can't do. I felt that way too. I couldn't get my hair cut because the hair dresser would see, I would get uncomfortable when people were taller then me and could see the top of my head and I would wonder if they could see through the hairs and see my scalp. I couldn't put my hair up because the short hairs would poke through the top of my pony tail. You can do it, I believe in you.

You're a sweet angel, and I'm so sorry you're going through this. I hope things get better for you. Try not to let the haters get to you... kids can be very cruel. :( *hugs*
I agree......you are very brave and beautiful even without the wig. I had the same problem since I was 11, and now I am 24. I've gone on hair diet meaning no pulling. I always fail, and wish I was brave as you to see a therapist. I'm think I'm slowing down, and hope someday researchers can get deeper and help all of us.
Junior high was miserable. I had no idea what was wrong with me. It completely frustrated my mom and we would fight about it. I was too embarrassed to admit that I was doing it. By the time highschool rolled around, things were much better and somehow I managed to stop. I'm still not sure exactly how I came to stop, but just know that it can stop and will stop one day. I believe this has a genetic basis (addiction runs in my family).

omg! wen i saw this i srsly crying too, well cuz i have it too, but not that bad (sorry) i have it in dif. places mostly on top. i started in 4th grade and stopped in 5th grade and got back it 6th grade and it sucks! plz respond to this
i wanted to give u a hug too :( im not gonna say i know what its like cos i dont but i hope u get better and ur an amazing brave person and your beutiful x
Ashley, you are a brave, brave girl. This took guts. I had trich with my eyelashes when I was very young. When my mother found out, the embarrassment of it being brought to attention, being pointed out that I was missing half of my eyelashes on one eye, that drove it away.
Am I cured?
No.
Even after all these years, I still have leftover compulsions, and it's a horrible disease to have, and you often feel like you're a freak, but you really aren't.
Thank u soo much! i was diagnosed when i was 22..i'm nearly 25 and i have the most eyebrows i've had for along time - i'm hoping they will grow back...but only time and persistence will tell! i hope ur well and u have found support after making ur video..u are braver and stronger than realise!! -hugs- x0
*hugs* thank you for posting this. I have trich as well. Luckily it only manifests itself in my eyebrows and lashes. I've been completely without both before and every time I pull most out I feel horrible about myself. You were very brave to post this, and I hope you're doing well now, as I see 2 years have passed.
I know what you are going through, stick in there. I am nineteen right now and I also have trich. You are beautiful so keep you chin up and don't let the haters get to you. This life is yours, so don't let this stop you from doing stuff. The world is yours, go get it! hugs and kisses
girl. thank you so much for sharing.. i know exactly how you feel. i have had trich for 5 years.. i started pulling when i was a freshman in high school and i was pretty popular and i was always a cheerleader and had to always be in front of a crowd. it was absolutely horrible. just want to thank you for being so brave and sharing your story. <3
hey thanks a lot for sharing this. thank you so much for your courage. i have this sickness too and i have no idea what to do. i just found out what it's called. just now. ive been doing this thing since i was 11-13 and now i'm 18. gonna go to college in a month and now i have no idea what to do with myself. if ever you had a chance to read this..please do message me. i really would love to know what you did. thank you so much again. i cried a lot. i love you. God bless.
I'm 51 and have trich. I started pulling after the birth of my first child when I was 18. I've never gotten treatment for it, although I wish I would have known 'what' it was; and they whys of it too. You are so sweet, and so brave. I'm proud of you, and you be proud of yourself because you WILL get better. I've had to make a conscience effort all the time...when my hands even start to get close to my hair...I have to tell myself to stop before I start.
You're such an inspiration doll and so brave for a 14 year old girl. I'm 21 and still suffering unfortunately, since I was 10...
Everytime I watch this it makes me cry cos it's all true from sadistic people wanting to pull your wig to it taking your childhood away cos you can't do normal things like swimming.
I told my sister to watch so she could understand that I'm not the only one suffering and she could see how I feel but from another person's voice.
I have Trichotillomaina. I started tweezing my eyelashes around 12, but stoped then I started pulling my hair around 20. Your very brave for telling your story online. I have only showed about 10 people my hair and feel embarrassed. My family, boyfriend, friends and some coworkers are very supportive. I know you said you go to a support group and I would love to find one around where I live. Keep thinking positive! :D
Hi sweetheart im 28yrs old and i also have trich i know how u feel trust me you are very brave to make this video and be vulnerable that means ur a strong person with humility tha\is will take you far in life! i wear weaves so that it makes it hard to pull out my real hair so instead of pulling my real hair out i pull the fake hair out i know it still succs bcuz it takes up hours of ur day but i do have a full head of hair
Hi my name is alyssa ross and i also have this. i am 14 years old and i have had this since i was 9. i only pull out my eyelashes and i have been researching trich 4 3 years now trying my hardest to stop. and just the plane feeling of knowing that i am not alone helps a huge load. thank you for posting this video! and take care
Hey guys, I was looking for a support group on facebook - the problem is (obviously) they all have names or contain words I do not exactly want on my facebook profile. I am sure others have the same problem. So I started a new group with an innocent name: Trixie Tips. If you like the idea please feel welcome to join (just search for the group on facebook).
It broke my heart watching you cry. I just want to give you a hug and tell you that you are a beautiful person. Thank you so much for being so brave and sharing something so intimate with the whole world. I appreciate it and I know so many others do as well. <3
@vallywoot Sure there are people that commit suicide because they have no friends and have a face like a dirty public toilet. And children in third-world-countries who die from deadly, easily treatable diseases. But we should all have a moment in time where we honor those who suffer from this slighty inconvenient mental impairment.
you are so amazingly brave... I have trich too, and have since 13 and I'm 25 now... it's gotten better over the years, and comes and goes.. but seventh grade was the absolute worst, and I was picked on so much, the first couple weeks of school I didn't even know how to hide it or what to do... they called me names and all sorts of things.... but God has been very gracious to me, and has gotten me through so much..... I wish you the best, I really do... I think you're so brave....
My life used to be amazing, but, when I got this trichotellamania, it ruined me. It ruined the way I thought about myself, the way it impacts on the way I act in front of people, and now, it's getting to the point where I hate myself for it. My mom has always been telling me,
will power is key.
and i'm working on it, but honestly, i don't blame you for this. it's EXTREMELY hard.
soooo .. thanks for sharing.
You're beautiful, and don't let that keep you from thinking you aren't. ;)
you dont need hair to be a beautiful and talented person. People with cancer who go with kemotherapy have to deal with having no hair and the ones i knew were great people. Hair is an appearence, not who you are. Be strong and you'll get through this
hi, im saraa. i hacve had trich for 9 years now, and i no how you feel. everyonee just says stop, when its not that easyy, this video made mee cry, and im very much like you i think, for a long time i thought that i was the only onee, that noone else had this excpt for mee. weh ni was in 7th grade someonee pulled off my wig, but you wanna know somethingg, who caress, live life to the fullezsst. yeah its gonna be on ur mind all day everyday, but try and have fun, im very sorry.
Thanks so much for posting this - you're so brave! I'm 21 and watching this is making me cry too. I would not have the guts to expose my neurosis to the world - and you made this video when you were 14! Mad props :)
I hear we have to live with this for the rest of our lives - it's a mental battle and we have to take it one day at a time. Every time you find yourself reaching for your head, make a conscious effort NOT to! I find when my hands wander the best thing to do is put on a hat.
my hair looks almost exactly like yours did in this video. no one EVER knows i have trich because i hid it so well.
it seriously stole my middleschool life away. I barley remember anything about middleschool because i would just constantly cut class to get away from the teasing.
now im 18 & im perfectly comfortable with telling people about my disorder.
i have this. im a guy. i never pull from the sides or back. only top. i pull out eyelashes and eyebrows. im about 12-15 now. i started at eyelashes at around 3rd grade and just now moved to scalp. I have ADHD and figured out i had it about 5 weeks ago mabye? I pull from roots, and i hate it. If someone can please give me a site to help me before it gets even worse please tell me! please!!!
`Your probally about... 17 or 18 now. But I wanted to know if you have found away to stop. I think you looked beutiful with out your hair. And though kids you had to deal with at school... Well, I am learning that Kids are peranahs... I don't have Trich, I don't know anyone that does. But I want you to know, that you are beautiful, and I love that even though you are hurt, you are telling others that they are not alone, in the hopes that it will help them.
Amber1563 3 days ago
I don't have trich but I know people that do, I feel for you. And I wanted to let you know that you are beautiful with or without your hair! My sister had cancer and she alway hated how she looked without her hair, I thought she looked beautiful either way. I'm not saying that's the same thing but it shouldn't matter what you look like. Feelings and your heart should. Those are what makes people beautiful!

I dont have this disorder but I've struggled with an eating disorder and have been abused in my lifetime and have asked myself "why me". I'm sure you ask yourself that but just remember we all have problems. I've been struggling with depression for 5 years now and I've had counseling and medicine. Nothing works. The only thing that does give me some hope is knowing God is with me. I would urge you to seek his guidance and help bc through him, all things are possible:)

yes, i also for a very very long time believed i was incredibly weird and had something very wrong with me for doing this. honey you are a very very brave girl. mine is not so bad that its noticable, as soon as a spot gets bad i force myself to move on so it doesnt get worse. get hold of a book called ''whats wrong with pulling my hair out?'' by a lady named abby leora rohrer. its a very inspirational book and it helps you realise whats going on under neath and behind the scenes.

I have trich and I know what it's like, it really sucks, especially if your parents don't know that you have it. It really sucks to have your family say " You're a really pretty girl, why do you hurt yourself?" but nobody knows what it's like... I have to keep it a secret from everybody. You can't do normal things... it's really hard.

You are such an unbelieveable person to make this video.. I know exactly how you feel, my own dad called me a freak for years because he couldn't understand this habit I couldn't help, MY OWN DAD!! I'm lucky I'm male and am fair haired so people don't notice so much that my eyelashes and eyebrows are being destroyed, but what I always wry about is if I have my own kids, esp a daughter and what torture she might go through.. it makes me feel like I should never have kids...

Thank you so much for making this, I'm 13 and I started hair pulling last year it's gotten to the point where the bald spots were too big to cover up, my dad was really helpful and got me a wig. But I'm going into high school this year and I'm so scared that someone is going to pull it off or find out that it's a wig, and my head is shaven, I'm so scared and wish I had someone to talk to about this. :'( but it's nice to know I'm not alone and to hear someone like yourself talking about it rathe

Please listen all trichitillomania sufferers!!! I have found a way to control my urges, I have been pulling my eyelashes and eyebrows for 10 years, now like most of you, I guess, it is down to stress! I have found that a course of acupuncture really helped, I went to a chines medicine shop I have regular acupuncture , maybe once a week for 6 weeks, and a course of de-stressing tablets that I took everyday for the entire course that she recommended, I can honestly say it changed my life, instead

I think you are incredibly brave. You are such a star for even doing this. I don't know what it's like to have Trichotillomania, but I do understand the compulsions as I have Trichotemnomania, which is obsessive hair cutting. I currently look like I have a mohawk. :/
I hope everything gets better for you, that you beat this because you're so strong. And you're beautiful.

At 14, you are more courageous than i have ever been. I remember everyone of my hats and how awful they smelled. You're right though, its easier for us guys b/c we can hide it. I've shaved my head for 14 years and for everyone of those years i've wanted hair. Guys cant wear wigs unfortunately. The ironic thing is, now i'm losing my hair naturally and at 25 a cul de sac isnt all that attractive. haha. We can let our personal tragedies rule us or we can rise above.

Thanks for making this video. I also suffer from trichotillomania, but a weird type: make huge knots in my hair and then pull them out. I want to stop soooo bad, people keep telling me to stop doing it but Ijust can't help it.
It does feel good to know that I'm not alone, though. Cause I used to think I was till I started talking about it and realised it actually affects many people!
Anyway... good luck, you're a beautiful girl, and brave too! Keep your chin up!

im 22 and trying to stop trich and dermatillomania. i have small bald spots all over my scalp from pulling, and my haed is sore from picking. i cried my eyes out watching this because i am you! and now i see what happens you cannot stop! i cant stop, and so it just makes me cry harder because i know if i dont i will lose all of my hair. itfalls out by the handful already, and is a big problem. anyway, i wantedto tell you that you are so beautiful and im so proud that you could open up in thisway

you're just like me. i'm 15 and my trich started when i was 6 years old. i've spent my whole childhood thinking that everyone was right and that i could control it, and i just wasn't strong enough but i know better now. i started wearing a wig when i was 14 and it's still hard - i'm always worried someone is going to yank it off in the hallway at school. but you're an amazing person...i understand everything that you're going through and you need to know you're not alone. and you're gorgeous!

on a sidenote, you are self-aware of your issue, or atleast its physical manifestation
and that gives you some direction on how to "fight" it, however you should seek counseling, apart from trying to create an environment for yourself of interdependent communication and creativity, well its easier said than done, good luck

hair grows back, as long as you don't get any infection in the damaged hairsacks
or if you reach an age where they don't regrow, which mostly happens to males around + 35, so keep on shaving, and try to focus on anything positive, hobbies, games, sports etc..

I personally never had this much hair missing at any one time but I fully empathize with this young lady and hope she finds the courage to stop!

I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone, I have trich and im 39 years old, i only just began the battle of the hair, it was always the eyes for me, i was the same way, couldnt enjoy my life, and still cant, but i didnt know what i had until i was 28 years old, i never had support, i was always teased,, life was not as bad as yours, i didnt pull from the head much, but the eyes were & still are a huge issue, now my hair is bald a bit in spots, if you have good friends they wont care.

Hey your video really shocked me, I have long Trico and have been trying to grow my hair but I couldnt, recently the impulse fell back and I finished almost completely bald and depressed, at home no one understands what happens to me and no one cares they are used to it . In college my friends do not understand why I always like to wear short hair I'm really desperate and alone, I dont have anyone to talk about it. would be nice if we could talk and I want to know how did you recover completely

pokemaster2222 1 year ago
it does stop for me is when im on the bus going home. Never happens to me at home, only when im in the bathroom in front of the mirror. I think its due to all the energy in your body is built up and pulling releases the energy in your body, that and stress, or anxiety. For the people out there that wonder, "why does he do that to himself" Newsflash for you, Do you think we enjoy going through this?!?
pokemaster2222 1 year ago
The best way I can explain it is... When u pull its a Cold, tingling , relaxing feeling. And the texture you feel when u pull feels like its irritating you, so you pull it, Weird thing is, This only happens to me with the Shortest hairs, never the long fully grown ones, only the course ones. i stopped for about 2 months, then today, At school I just had a breakdown about it, and i couldnt stop. Once you pull one, you HAVE to pull another, and another, and another. And it doesnt stop. Only time
pokemaster2222 1 year ago
I am a man. I have it. It is harsh to have to pencil in my eyebrows. I can't look a woman in the eyes. If a woman gets close, I look down or get away. Because wearing make-up is feminine, trich basically kills a masculinity. Of course, long hair is important to a woman's femininity, too. I have to go to work tomorrow, and I am fearing others reactions to my newest pulling. I'm sure my mom's judging and shaming has made it worse for me, even all of these years later. Thanks.

Hey girl I too have been pulling my hair since I was 13 and I am 50 years old now
and don't think the hair on the top of my head will ever grow back and I think about it constantly and look in the mirror in the bright sunlight to make sure that the top of my head is covered.
I use this spray for balding men and have extentions and wear hats and it is the most messed up part of my life but I love life and I am happy in so many other ways ...........you are wonderful for sharing.

Hey hun, I have had severe trich for over 10 years now, and I'm proud to say that I have been able to grow 4 inches of hair. I still pull from time to time, but the majority of my hair is grown out. I'm really not sure what helped me stop pulling so often. I know that meeting my fiance helped out A LOT. He was so supportive of me and his positive attitude rubbed off on me I guess you could say. You can do it hun. You just REALLY gotta want it.

I know exactly what your talking about. I pull out every hair in my body, literally. Mostly my eyelashes eyebrows and head hair.I remember those nights where my eyelashes would be halfway back and I would sit i my bathroom and everytime I would pull out an eyelashes I would put a cut on my arm. It got so bad that my parents saw...I would wake up in the morning and have cuts all over my arms and legs and have no eyelashes or eyebrows ...again. I dont know how to email on youtube email me please.

I also suffer from this problem. I know that antidepressants infuriate the problem. So does the Sodium lauryl sulphate in every shampoo. The one thing I have found that helps is using Vaseline intensive care moisturizer which at least takes the tension off the damaged scalp. As far a cure goes: I also know of none.

I know how you feel when you say that there are so many things that you can't do. I felt that way too. I couldn't get my hair cut because the hair dresser would see, I would get uncomfortable when people were taller then me and could see the top of my head and I would wonder if they could see through the hairs and see my scalp. I couldn't put my hair up because the short hairs would poke through the top of my pony tail. You can do it, I believe in you.

Junior high was miserable. I had no idea what was wrong with me. It completely frustrated my mom and we would fight about it. I was too embarrassed to admit that I was doing it. By the time highschool rolled around, things were much better and somehow I managed to stop. I'm still not sure exactly how I came to stop, but just know that it can stop and will stop one day. I believe this has a genetic basis (addiction runs in my family).

Ashley, you are a brave, brave girl. This took guts. I had trich with my eyelashes when I was very young. When my mother found out, the embarrassment of it being brought to attention, being pointed out that I was missing half of my eyelashes on one eye, that drove it away.
Am I cured?
No.
Even after all these years, I still have leftover compulsions, and it's a horrible disease to have, and you often feel like you're a freak, but you really aren't.
I wish you luck, Ashley.

my hair looks almost exactly like yours did in this video. no one EVER knows i have trich because i hid it so well.
it seriously stole my middleschool life away. I barley remember anything about middleschool because i would just constantly cut class to get away from the teasing.
now im 18 & im perfectly comfortable with telling people about my disorder.
