so, i have had trich for more then 10 years now...and i recently started losing my hair (unintentionally) from my head/ when i brush, and when I shower. my mother said she lost alot of her hair at the same time in her life. however, i almost feel like alopecia would be the karma that i would receive for not cherishing the hair i have. i am so scared to go bald, but not scared to do it to myself....should i see a docter.

Hi Mauilove,
I see a therapist and I am on an antidepressant. The therapist is learning with me about the Trich. She basically helps me learn to deal with life's challenges. I am not sure anyone can help with this disorder yet. But i have become alot stronger and happier having someone to help me. Good Luck. And please keep posting. We all know what you are going through.
