    • About Me

      I'm a 25 year old female with Trichotillomania. I'm just looking for some people who share the same disorder as me. I don't know one other person in my life who has this but I know they're out there. :) I get really down on myself about my pulling. It's weird because it comforts me and I like it, but I hate it so much too. I'm sick of keeping my hair short and trying to cover up the thinness and bald spots. My dream is to have long thick hair again and be able to put it up in a ponytail or let it hang loose and messy. And to not have to worry about it if it's windy out or at the beach. I have a lot of anxiety and sometimes I go through spurts where I pull a lot. But there are times where I will only pull a couple a day. I used to be really depressed and had low self-esteem. But over the years I've learned that I am a beautiful person and there's a lot about me that's worth sticking around for. I still get depressed sometimes. I usually get really stressed easily and that triggers my pulling too. What I wish for the most is to just be happy. I want to be happy with myself and in my life.

    • Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      I'm a 25 year old female who has had trichotillomania for 12 years. I have tried a few things to rid myself of this disorder but I've never reached a permanent solution. I get really down on myself about it and I'm really frustrated with trying to hide it. It takes me a while to do my hair in the morning b/c I have to have it perfect in order for me to leave the house, otherwise I'm afraid someone will notice how thin it is or a bald spot. I have a lot of anxiety and some depression.

    • Close Depression

      Treatments

      Celexa Somewhat Helpful
      I took it many years ago but I was never consistent enough to actually see if it helped.
      Writing Considering
    • Open Anxiety

      I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety lately. It comes on mostly at night and I can get to sleep. I end up pulling my hair out repeatedly for hours.

      Treatments

      Hypnotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I never finished but while I was going, I loved it. I felt like a million bucks and very relaxed every time I left.
      Serax Too Soon to Tell
      I just got this from my PCP. Im going to try it out and see if it helps.
