About Me
Howdy, I am 22 years old and have had trich for 8 or 9 years. I finally see that there is so much more to me than this disorder. For the first time in my life I am able to control my behavior to the best of my ability. I am in graduate school pursuing my passion and I feel having a goal has really made me focus on the important things in life. I want to be happy and I decided I was going to be. I take steps to consciously stop pulling. I control trich, it does not control me. I hope someday I will stop pulling forever. I'm certain this goal will be reached because I now realize I have the strength and determination for anything. Please contact me if you would like to chat!

Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
Type: TrichotillomaniaIt all started in my 7th grade spanish class when I realized my entire desk and the surrounding floor was covered with hair. I am now 22 years old. I have had trich for 8 or 9 years. I typically pull from the bottom of my head or wherever there is a patch of really thick hair. This disorder does not consume my life. I have control and I will succeed.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- I had to record the hair I pulled and place it into a zip lock bag so I could physically and tangibly see how much I pulled. I hated it at the time, but looking back I realize that it did make me more aware, thus making me conscious of when I pulled.
Close Environmental Allergies
