And label it trich
vgI am 32,and I've been suffering from trichotillomania ever since I was 9 years old. At first I wasn't really aware of what was happening to me. It started out as a children's game, an exploration, but then, I started to like it. Only people who have it can understand what I've been through ever since. I've had periods during my childhood and adolescence of even couple of years during which I hadn't touched my hair at all. My hair would grow back again, I would lead a completely normal life. At least I thought so. Suddenly, out of the blue, it would come back again, this urge that I could not controle, even though I was painfully aware of the damage I've done. Today, I am 32 years old and the mother of two children, and I'm still doing it. Now and then I manage to controle the impuls for a couple of months, but it eventually comes back again. It's been several years, since I found out that it is a disorder with a name and recognisable symptoms, but it wasn't until couple of days ago that I looked it up on the net, and discovered just how many people in the world had it. Despite that fact, I've never felt lonelier in my life. You see, only my mother and my two best friends know my terrible secret. But as much as they try to, I think they can never quite understand what's going on inside me that urges me to do that to myself. Even I cannot explain that. It would mean a lot to me, to get in touch with someone who has the same problem as I do. So, trichters, please write,

I must say it is a relief to see that others have this. I have been picking my eyelashes since I was about 10 and moved to my eyebrows when I was about 13. I am almost 20 now and still continue to pick my eyelashes and eyebrows daily. I usually don’t even let them grow in a little. I cover them up daily with eyeliner and as much as it’s become a pain, it’s become a part of my life. I have accepted it and often it doesn’t affect me. Not many people even notice that I have no eyelashes and eyebrows. I have become pro at applying makeup =P but I really want to let this habit go. I have always wanted my lush beautiful Italian lashes back. I was called maybelline when I was younger and I want that nickname back. I went through a stage where I would where fake eyelashes but it was a pain and they would always fall off. More people actually noticed my condition when I was trying to cover it up with fake eyelashes. It affected me more when I was younger but now it’s just apart of me. I want to let it go and I really think I have it in me to do so. But I have tried absolutely everything and I’ve always gone back to picking them. I have thought about getting hypnotized. I hear it works for some people to quit smoking. But I don’t know, it’s just a thought. Is it worth a shot?

Ever since I was pretty little I pulled out my eyelashes and eyebrows. i've only had it for a couple of years but i cant seem to trick trich. evry day i continued to pick. I stopped for a while and i thought it was over, but then i had a slip, and i started all over again. it just gets worse, and now, im so sick of it, and im just going to have to pull myself together and get over this. i know i can, but i need support. i know there are people out there with trich, but i've never known anyone who's had it but me. please, email me, if anyone wants to talk further or whatever. I know ill get through this. i just need hope.

I've got a trichotillomania blog that I'm trying to make into a communal forum for the disorder. It's called Trich-y Business: A Trichotillomania Blog, at http://eyelashpuller.blogspot.com
I need help!!! I'm a 47 year old woman that is still pulling. It started when i was about 9 or 10 and back then they didn't have a name for it so everyone though i was crazy or a mental case and made fun of me... even my family.. I think they were the worst. So now as a adult i've never talked about this not with anyone not even my best friend. Its worse now then ever maybe because I'm under a lot of stress and have no one in my life and definitely no one i can talk to about this!!! I stop going to my hair salon because i know all the girls very well and that wouldn't understand and i cant stand the thought of this being the topic of all the gossip. I wish i could find a salon that deals with this discreetly. I want to stop so badly and it never been this bad!!! It use to be just in one spot and now in the last 6 months i do it all over in different spots and i'm to the point i don't want to go anywhere or do anything.. What do i do?
