      From poohm October 13, 2009

      Thank you so much for the support. I shaved my for seven years and stopped doing it last year. (it wasn't helping me, I would pull as soon as it was long enough). But i'm feeling really positive right now. I just hope the positive attitude holds!! Thanx again, Hugs.

    • Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      It started when I was about 14 years old. I had a perm where my hair got fried and it just kept falling out every time I stroked my hair. Then I got a case of head lice which I didn't know about until several weeks had gone by. So that got me in the habit of having my hand at my hair thus the habit begins. It has now been 14 years and I am still pulling my hair. I am trying so hard to stop but I just can't. It has gotten so bad that I am considering getting a wig again.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      This had to be taken at a high dosage to show any signs of it helping but I never really stopped.
    • Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      I was diagnosed with IBS 3 months ago.

      Treatments

      High Fiber Diet Somewhat Helpful
      still had episodes of constipation and diarrhea with cramping.
