Hi, I'm Bailey. I'm pretty active on here.
You can learn alot about me from my blogs.

www.teenwithtrich.tumblr.com

www.trichjourney.tumblr.com

I personally reccommend getting a 'tumblr'. It's a great place to vent.

I also have a YouTube account now. [[ http://www.youtube.com/user/halfunread0 ]] You can get in touch with me alot better through DS and my blogs. Oh, and by email: trichy_bailey@yahoo.com

Noooo, I don't mean to be some annoying girl trying to get her web pages to be known. I just want to hear from others and see what they are going through, and for others to see what I go through.

Thanks, B.

Hi Baily,
I read your blogs and they really touched me. You have such a healthy attitude, I know you're in pain but you are so willing to reach out to all of us. I swear to you it gets better, try not to be so hard on yourself. I've pulled since I was 6 (now 49), which sounds crazy. Sometimes it goes away (like when I was in college). Changes seem to help me, like going away to camp, college, vacations. Maybe I should travel the world -- haha! Anyway, thanks for your posts, and remember that I know exactly how you feel!

I just watched your youtube, I wish I had your courage. I too focus on my eyelashes and eyebrows, I'm 23 this year and have pulled for about 19 years.. wow has it really been that long? I wish I'd found out sooner that I didn't just have a strange habit.

Feel free to add me if you want to talk to someone who also spent their teens with no eyelashes/eyebrows

@ Discordia, you are so right, people think it's just a bad habit! I wish!

I agree-- you're incredibly brave. I've been wanting to make a video about trich forever, but I'm always afraid of what friends, family, potential employers, etc. will think if they find it. I'm sticking to anonymity here, with pictures that don't show my face and what not.

I feel like a hypocrite sometimes for complaining about the lack of trichotillomania awareness, but then not telling anyone about it, haha. Kudos to you for getting it out there. :)
