    • About Me

      I am 20 years old, and a junior at University of Central Florida, majoring in Pre-Professional Biology, and I work at Florida Hospital East in the emergency department. I have been pulling my eyelashes and eyebrows for about 8 years now. I was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression about 2 years ago.

    • Interests

      I freshwater fish, go to the beach, spend way too much money on heels I never wear, and up until 2 consecutive recent car accidents, was very involved with yoga. I go out with friends, line dancing every Thursday, and spend as much time with my mom as I can.

    • Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      I am here because I need to quit, and I can't do this alone. I believe I need to have a support system that will hold me accountable.

      Treatments

      Yoga Somewhat Helpful
      The trouble with it is I can only do it at nights and that is not when I am prone to pulling.
      Celexa Not Working
      I take 30mg BID. I feel less anxious but it does not take enough of the edge off to actually assist in the cessation.
    • Close ADHD / ADD

      I have adult onset ADHD.

      Treatments

      Adderall Somewhat Helpful
      It helped me focus, but made my anxiety go through the roof.
      Dexedrine Working / Worked
      It helps me focus better than Adderall.
