Trichophagia

I have this really bad. I started in 8th grade when I was 14. I'm 19 now and I would say it's gotten worse. I can't stop period. I actually stopped for 3 years and 5 months once, but of course a boy broke my heart and I didn't have anyone to talk to much because I am embarrassed. My parents wouldn't take me to a therapist because they said things that I heard when I started, "You're old enough to help yourself.", so now I work hours on end to get money to stop pulling and eating hair. It even gets to the point that I think, I have a hairballs in my stomach.

What is even worse is that I was born with a horrible disease called, hirschsprungs(enlargement of the colon) and so that doesn't help it much... I was also wondering if some else here had this and stopped doing it. Thank you! =]
