- About Me:
- I'm an eighteen year old girl from a small town where no one else understands trich. I've been suffering from it on and off since I was in the 3rd grade. I've tried numerous antidepressants - none of which worked. I went to psychotherapy - didn't help. It's really hard. My parents and I used to talk about it all the time. They didn't even know that it was actually a real "problem." One day while I was sitting at home I figured I would google it. That's when I realized I had been suffering from Trichotillomania. I used to only pull out my eyelashes (Only? haha). The last couple of years I've resorted to also pulling out some of my eyebrows. It's hard to think about it sometimes. I've never told any of my friends about it, though I'm assuming they realized the sparse eyelashes covered over with eyeliner and the carefully filled in eyebrows. I've tried to tell my boyfriend for 4 years what I suffer from, but I don't think he quite understands. He always comments on how thin my eyebrows are - he has no one how much I just want to scream in his face, run away and cry when he does.

I noticed you sent me a message ages ago. I don't get on here very often! I'll try to make more of an effort!
