I just pulled out a noticeable amount of lashes and I feel horrible. now all I wanna do is eat and every time I look at my missing eyelashes, I wanna keep pulling. I have a 6 month old to care for and this stupid issue is debilitating me when I should be focusing on my son. It's crazy how something as minimal as hair and the desire to pull it out can take over our lives like this. And people that don't have trichotillomania can't understand it, which only makes things worse for me since I really need my family's support. It's so sad that I've had this thing my whole life and I can't even talk to my own family about it. All I have is God, who i'm just trying to turn this whole thing over to. I'm feeling desperately fed up with this and I just need someone to listen.

I'm sorry you are having a bad time right now, I hope that you 'll feel better soon. I know its hard when you have no support at home or from family, but you have support here on DS. When you feel low take a walk outside, exercise is great for a troubled mind and take the baby too. It helps to get some light, and to hear nature. It puts your life back in perspective. Have you tried the group" Beating Trich" , its a member supported group. You might find it helpful too. Keep in touch...Hugs.

thanks, nabby. with the weather warming up and a park down the street, i definitely should start taking walks!

I agree with Nabby1 and I completely know how you're feeling. I have been taking walks more often (and I have two little ones) I know it's hard to get out there when we're busy but I've been feeling much better with walking when I can.
