Interests
I like long conversations, music, reading, being outside when it's beautiful, coffee, chocolate, hanging out with friends, flowers, God, d-group, etc. Life is great other than this lovely hair-pulling thing!! Oh yeah, and the anxiety. :)

Support Groups
Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
Type: TrichotillomaniaI started pulling when I was nine. I don't really know why--that was a stressful time in my life, I guess. My grandfather left my grandma and they got a divorce (haven't seen him since) and my mom had a baby all in a matter of a few weeks. Maybe that had something to do with it? Well, I've been battling trich ever since.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I recently went to a counselor. She helped a bit, but not to the extent that I wanted her to. I just try to not pull as much as I can.
Close Anxiety
I remember the first time I felt real anxiety that I am now familiar with. I was at a youth event with my church and it was right after my freshman year of high school. I had trouble eating in front of people and I would get really nervuos and eventually got to the point where eating in front of people was impossible. Now (five years later) I try to cope as much as I can. Just looking for some support! :-)
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- Worked GREAT! I was sick to my stomach on the first day that I took it, but after that I was fine. It took about 4-6 weeks to really start working. I just recently came off of it and my anxiety is back. My doctor says Lexapro isn't something that I can be on permanently...I need to find alternate ways to help my anxiety now.
