As someone who knows EXACTLY what you mean as I have suffered with thisfor over 3 yearsd now, all i cant say is that I think you are brilliant, and to talk about it on here is amazing. Wel done. I wish I had the guts to tell people how I feel. You have made me feel less wierd, Thank you, i know Im not alone now <3 xxxxx
i LOVE your videos...you are talented and pretty and you are everything i want to be when i grow to be as old as you.im 11 and you are the person i look up to most...because you have the bravery to talk about a personal problem like trich...many people love you...heck, im a subscriber!!!just remember...we are out here to support you.any haters can go jump off a bridge!!!they dont understand anything.i wish you the best beckie!!!
I know I've only written once before and now that I know of your disorder... WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO?!?!?! Is there anything I can do to make you better, treatment, money (though I don't have much of that), ANYTHING! Hell in one video I saw you eating POP tarts, strange but I eat them too, would you like a ton of poptarts?? I feel so bad between one Crazy to another Bonker and seeing that you have something that truly bothers you I wish to help ^_^
Beckie, your faithful YouTube followers love you and we'll always be here for u. And if anyone physically abuses you or verbally abuses you, talk with someone right away.
Just know that there are so many people out here on youtube that do support you. My friend Clare and i both want to just run to give you a big hug right now. People are so insensitive and rude and I am so sorry that they say such cruel things. It's gotta be a extremely hard thing to deal with and you've got the support from many people! People are incredibly stupid to turn on you for something you can't control. PLUS I think you rock your short hair and you are beautiful no matter what :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why did you upload this???? Get a life and stop ripping out your hair!! If I can do it then you can. SOOOOO STOPPP!!! you look like a boy. like that. you actually look better with your hair long, grow out plz!
@JadeeyyBabii everybody is different and honestly this comment was very insensitive and rude. She is so brave to be sharing this with us and it is obviously a struggle for her that she keeps facing. Just because you were able to recover from it doesn't mean it is easy for everybody and you should respect that. I am not trying to start a fight on here but this was so rude and I could not help but respond to this after she said straight up in a video those things are very very hurtful to be told.
@JadeeyyBabii Hush, little girl. You are being insensitive and cruel to someone has put herself out in the public eye to try and talk about a problem she's having. You're not being cute. You're not being helpful. You're being inconsiderate and idiotic. How lovely it must be that you got over the "same problem" but I think you fail to realize the significance of the video above.
@JadeeyyBabii I was looking at your page, and before you say SH## like this, maybe you should take a look at yourself first, UM HELLO!!! You have got to be one of the ugliest ppl I have EVER seen in MY LIFE both inside and out! Lose a few hundred pounds, then maybe you can have a right to speak on other ppls weaknesses. I cannot believe you would come and say something like this when its obvious you are obese. So, you stopped pulling out your hair, time to work on not eating everything you see!
<33 Keeping in consideration that I am oceans away from the UK, I really hope you stay strong. I don't know how it feels, but I sympathize with you, and it hurts me to see you struggle.
I still pull, but a very minimal amount compared to other people and it will be like a couple days out of a month where i'll notice myself doing it. So I am not claiming to know exactly how you feel, but I definitely understand and I am so sorry.
I feel for you so much. I do not have trich bad enough for people to tell, and I have not had bald patches like this, but I pulled out all my eyelashes once a few years ago and my dad and brothers make fun of me for it constantly. I am so self conscious about it and they won't stop bringing it up. I completely feel for you and wish I was there to make you stop pulling long enough to erase that habit. I know it is more than a habit, but i know the longer you stop pulling, the easier it is. <3
I'm pretty sure if you don't have roots, the hair does grow back. I can't tell you how many times I've ripped the roots right of my legs and the hair grows back. It will take longer....but it will come back.
I am doing the IB programme right now, which happens to be very stressful. I have been pulling out my hair like crazy. My teachers have said that I will be put under probation because they think a person who cant deal with stress is not a person who is capable of doing the IB. They dont understand that trichotillomania is not just stress and I think its very unfair that they are doing this to me.
You are strong, life is pushing you for something more, something that requires a lot of strength and courage. Anyone who picks and makes fun of you is weak, espeacilly by exposing a sensitive area. The more your pushed the harder you have to push back, your adopt to the pressure, and rise higher than any obstacle. This one negative to your fountain of positives is an irrelevant illusion of your own mind. Everyone is here to hold your hand through this as best we can.
We're all package deals; our goods and bads come as a set. You have a lot of goods. Try to focus on those. Just deal with the bads as best you can. You don't answer every question on every quiz correctly, right? You just do the best you can. Best isn't the same as perfection, and no one can do better than their best, so don't sweat it.
No need to fret Beckie. As much pain as you are in, you must remember that you are also very funny. I may not have Trich, but I do understand. You are very loved, believe it and live it.
I think I can speak to everyone saying that we admire the courageousness it takes to post these videos. I can kind of understand (some) of the frustration because for a long time I've thought that I'm developing some form of trich. I'll be absently twirling bits of my hair and then I realize that half of it has been gone, but not by pulling, but more by twirling... :/ *denial* I don't mind the wait. <3 You're loved.
I know how you feel beckie. I just shaved my head for the second time out of frustration. just remember that we all have rough patches and things will get better and you will get through this. it's just hair. i know thats a hard thing to take in but you are not your hair. maybe you should ask for a wig for christmas? i just started wearing one, and it helps with my confidence. i know you feel alone but you have tons of people you can talk to including me. :) hang in there beautiful. <3
Your so very brave to even post this on youtube, and I respect you greatly for even this video. I can see how much it upsets you. And although I cannot say I know what it's like or how you feel, I just want to say you're beautiful no matter what and strong. People will understand, keep being you<3
I cannot say I know how you feel. But, what I can say, is that even though you don't know us personally, we are here for you. We will listen, no matter what you are saying. We are here for you no matter what. We will never leave.
youre beautiful and able to do whatever you set your mind too, if you let it control your thoughts thats all you'll focus on. focus on things that make you happy!
No one is ever going to turn on you and if they do then you don't want them as a friend anyway x
I wish I could say 'I know how you feel' but I don't. I don't want to tell you another cheesy line that you hear all the time but focus on the good not the bad <3
Also, although you say the roots have gone in one area, this doesn't necessarily mean they won't ever grow back. It may just be that the area needs to recover. I know that lashes, for example, take about 6 weeks usually, to be replaced, but in 'trichers' who have pulled for many years, it can take several months to a year for them to return completely.
I really wish I could hug you right now. Hair is just as important as skin, and anyone who says 'it's just hair' is as ridiculous and offensive as saying to a severe eczema sufferer 'it's just skin'. Still, you come across as a creative, talented, intelligent person, and anyone who ignores that and puts you down for this one aspect of your life is shallow and ignorant.
Oct 3rd was that last time I caught you on BlogTV. I had just returned from the Virginia State Fair in Richmond. It was a Sunday. It had been the last day of the fair. It was after 6:00 pm DST here. You had been on for 2 or 3 hours and were getting ready to sign off. When I signed on you smiled. I suppose that was just a coincidence. But it cheered me up just the same.
Oh and I understand completely how it is impossible to stop. I don't understand myself how other people wouldn't understand that - I'm not sure if trich is classified totally as an OCD but well, I understand totally how it isn't your fault because you simply can't stop.
Beckie, people shouldn't turn against you on youtube simply for expressing yourself. I find it amazing how you have shared such a personal struggle with so many people and I'm sure it has helped other people who struggle with it too. I can see how in "real life" talking about trich would be a problem but on the internet you should be free to express yourself without worrying people will be annoyed - I for one know I wouldn't be and I don't suffer with trich myself.
As someone who knows EXACTLY what you mean as I have suffered with thisfor over 3 yearsd now, all i cant say is that I think you are brilliant, and to talk about it on here is amazing. Wel done. I wish I had the guts to tell people how I feel. You have made me feel less wierd, Thank you, i know Im not alone now <3 xxxxx
