You are not alone baby girl. You are BEAUTIFUL!

I'm sorry for what you're going through. I could never be brave enough to reveal something so big to people.

`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!

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:)

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.
