oke no more "solutions" ...i give up !

[garrettmaria74]

@AntiVot i try more and more every day to have self control, its mind over matter to me, only i can stop it, its beating this horrible impulse, i mostly do this when im bored, as long as im walking, moving, etc im ok,, but soon as i sit down, my hands begin to wonder to my hair..its very hard not to do it..in time i hope this goes away...also HELPING IS UNDERSTANDING AND TO GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT.

@AntiVot some people with this disorder do shave thier heads and cut short, to me bluntly is dum..i dont see why in the world they would do that, i do not.

to me it defeats the whole purpose, we all want pretty hair right? so why cut it?

i have two areas in my hair that i cannot leave alone, when it grows back its stiff hairs and makes me want to pick more at it, Ive always played with my hair so its a habit to have my hands in my hair, but the pulling came after a major stressful surgery.

@garrettmaria74 Pfff sorry just can`t quite figure it out ...how about if cut your hair really really short ...like bald ! :-/ ... i em not a bad person just wanna help !

@AntiVot also about the hat, yeah it helps to wear a hat, i have 2 thin patches on my head from pulling, when i see i am pulling too much i get a do rag and place it on my head, i try anything..its just a fight against addtiction, i really wish you wouldnt be so harsh, maybe just TRY to understand, give encouragement to these kids, not all of us are so fortunate to not have illness. thats all i ask..please dont hurt them with harsh words, instead send encouragment, we all need that:(

[garrettmaria74]

@AntiVot if you went to my channel you will see i do not show any signs of trich, i cover it very well and dont let it get the best of me, but some people like this young lady for instance is in worse case, ok? all she wants is to get better, but a impulse to do something is very hard to stop, kinda like me, i had to undergo weight surgery to loose weight because i had an addition to food, now i am reaching my goals..havent you ever had to try hard to do something and failed, now come on???

[garrettmaria74]

@AntiVot idont have to wear a hat, do you? you know its very obvious you do not understand what a hard disease thins is to deal with, but if you had any compassion at all whatsoever you would at least try to understand this, sometimes in order to understand something you have to reach into the heart of it & im not trying to argue with you, this is something only trich patients know about, we understand because we have the illness, all we ask is acceptance and some understanding.

[AntiVot]

@garrettmaria74 how about if u ware a hat or something all the time ...?

To all the trolls and negative minded people, learn to treat others the way you would want to be treated. To Broadway; you're very brave to have made this video, because most times when you do, you face ridicule from ignorant ones. I wish you all the luck there is : D -Cheshire.

@AntiVot if people could stop they would so that just proves to me your uneducated In this rare IllNESS. i have been pulling my hair since i was 6, its very hard to stop, its so habit forming that the feeling of it is that if a person trying to get off a medication or smoking a cigerettte, its an addition.

So hey i Im 39 years old, im very aware of what i do, but its a compulsive thing that I have to do, and obviously your a judgemental person on something you know nothing about. LEARN!
