Living with Trichotillomania

Sorry, the lighting is really bad, & I look gross, but whatever. I just felt inspired by the other brave trichers on youtube. Thanks for stopping by and watching, and feel free to talk. or leave comments. This is my seperate account from my personal one, so people I know won't know that I have this. Thanks so much.

PLZZ SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP AM STARTING TO THINK ITS IMMPOSIBLE TO STOP

[biggerthanlove7]

@noprettycool I know, it feels like that, but I promise it IS NOT impossible.

I'm sorry if it seems quite out of order when I say this, but you have an illness, and your mum doesn't sound as if she is being very supportive about it, if she is telling you she doesn't want to be seen with you. You need to tell someone else, that you know will support you through it, because it can make you worse if you have nobody!

@MarieClareification that was a long time ago, and things are much better now, thank you though. she's helped a lot. Thanks hun :)

I have curly hair. I always wanted straight hair. I hate my hair so much, when i find a bumpy, or really curly one i need to pluck it out because i see them as imperfections. my family doesn't know i have this disorder so i feel alone. I have broken hairs on my forehead (where your hair begins to grow). I fear going to the salon because they ask why i have so many broken hairs and i have to blame it on my brush. i feel like im a freak..

[biggerthanlove7]

@InTheKnowGirl you're not a freak, I do the exact same thing love

Not only stress causes it-another MAJOR factor is boredom. Try not to go on the computer or watch tv too much because those are the times when people mainly do it

[babygirlxx9494]

omg i do the same thing basically with my hair:( i find the bumpy ones in the same area as you. i use to pull them right out of my head but i dont do that as much now i like use my nails and sort of slide down the piece of bumpy/wirey hair.. untill it rips off. so i have a bunch of short hairs back there too. I WANT TO STOP SO BAD!! ITS HARD THOUGH. also when my hair is down i rub the ends on my lips without noticing. my friends started noticing i do it and they kind of snap me out of it...help?

[ILoveToYoYo2]

I suffer as well. I have zero lashes and I'm afraid that they won't grow anymore. I may try Talika or Latisse.
