Hi everyone,
My name is Denise and I am not sure if I actually have Trichotillomania or not, but I do often feel strong urges to pull out my hair, especially my eyebrows. I have been doing this everyday for more than a year, mostly when I'm bored or stressed. (Does this sound like Trich or is there more?)
I like speaking French, so if anyone knows it I'd be glad to talk to you! (Even if you don't, I'm sure I would still love to talk to you =]) I also like writing to pen pals and knitting.
That's all I have to say now; I just wanted to introduce myself.
Have a nice day. =]

It sounds like the very beginning of trich. My 13 year old started with arm hairs and then went to brows and lashes at the age of 9 to 11 and now she's 13 and full blown hair pulling. Get to help and tips as soon as you can so that the response the urge can be replaced with something before you even get to another stage. Go to trich.org and get info. good luck.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
