Anyone willing to be interviewed?
My name is Erin and I'm 17 years old, making me a senior in high school. I've been suffering from trich since I was eight years old. A month ago it got so bad that I finally had to get a wig, for which my family paid $800 that we don't have. I've met few other people with it so I've gone through life feeling like I don't fit in, like I don't have an identity. Sure, there are those self help books that suggest bandaids and wearing gloves, and I have tried both of those, but I didn't want to feel different. I was tired of all of the questions and more than that, I was tired of "huh?" being the response to my answers. No one knew what it was, no one understood just how much it has affected me.
As a senior, I am required to create a major project about any topic in the world. Not surprisingly, I've decided to dedicate mine to trich. It's going to be a magazine including pictures and interviews with people with trich but also those without it, not to mention parents and friends of those with it. If anyone would be willing to cooperate, I would appreciate it so, so much. My senior year and therefore my future is riding on this project and I could really use any help I can get. I want people to know that this is a real disease and it's not just me, it can be anyone. And since I need to donate it somewhere once I'm finished, it could also help people who have the disease but don't know it. It could let them know that they're not alone -- a luxury that I (and many of you, I'm sure) did not have growing up.
If anyone is interested in helping me, please leave your email address and I will contact you immediately. You will be completely anonymous unless you say otherwise. Thanks so much.

This sounds amazing! Hi, I'm Samantha and I'm 18 and have battled trich since age 10. I would really like to be a part of this because you and I seem to have a lot in common. I too wore wigs for 5 years and my hair grew back to where I no longer needed them. Now as a freshman in college, the stress is overwhelming and I have started pulling my hair out again. I've been wearing hats for a month now and I fear I'll have to go back to wearing wigs. It's not a bad thing, it's just I want myself back. Anywho, enough ranting. My email is: srmccamm@indiana.edu
