My first goal is to make it 30 days without pulling. So far, I've been pull free for 14 days now (almost 14, after tonight). I'm almost half way there!

Add your supportHey everyone. So, I'm 19 years old and I have Trich. I have had TTM since 6th grade. I remember my parent's not understanding and really, I remember me not understanding. I was a pretty as a little kid. I had full, amazing eyebrows and some of the most beautiful eyelashes ever. It really upsets looking back on old pictures; before I had this nasty Trich of a thing.
I started with the eyebrows and soon to pull the lashes. I never really hid it during middle school because It's not like I knew of eyebrow pencils and I didn't wear makeup. It really sucked. No one ever said anything, but I knew people could tell. Although there have been times were people did bring it up and i would just break down in turns. Another thing, it's also really crappy when you had your whole family calling you "plucky."
I've had my ups and downs. My good pull free days and the days where i just couldn't stop even when i knew what i was doing. I started using a wonderful thing; makeup. I know my TTM was still noticable, but at least i didn't look totally freakish, right?
So, here I am 7, almost 8 years later. Quit medication and therapy about almost a year ago. I was sick of being treated like a test subject with medications that never worked. I want to stop. I want to put an end to this TTM. I'm sick of it making me feel different/ugly/weird.
I want to be able to put on mascara and show off my eyes [since i always get compliments on how pretty of a color they are]. For once, I want to not have to pencil in eyebrows and actually see what i look like with realy hair.
It's not going to be easy and I know that. It just makes it all the better and a little easier when you know you're not alone. It makes it better when you know you can go somewhere and talk without being judged or looked at like your crazy. Daily Strength will do wonders. I know it :)
i can do this.

yes you can do it! I'm 22 and have been living with trich since I was 5... today I am proud to be able to say I am day 11 pull free from everything and day 18 pull free from my eyelashes. I never thought I could go a whole day without pulling! If I can do it, I know you can do it!! Just one day at a time and sometimes one minute at a time... it's so worth it tho- I can use mascara again! and it's such a great feeling.
