i need to stop, i started pulling when i was 12, now im 13, almost 14. i don't want to keep pulling. i tried like everything. my mom won't get me a psychiatrist, she says if she find's one more bald spot on my head she'll shave my head ! i love my hair, my life is ruined because of having trich. i don't have any major bald spots anymore. but im still pulling my scalp hair. my parents say that i use trich as an excuse, they don't believe me when i tell them ! does anyone have any things they did to recover ?, pleaseeeeeeee comment this forum !
If your mother does that,
If your mother does that, talk to someone not in your family about it... an adult you trust. I'm 25, I've been pulling my hair since I was 6 or 7. I pull from my head, eyebrows & eyelashes. Trich is like any other self-inflicted "disease" in that you never really recover from it... stopping is an ongoing process every single day. Its very hard to stop and I have long periods of time where I don't do it anymore. Sometimes I slip up and fall back into it, but theres nothing you can do but try again. If your mom actually does that to you, then she doesn't realize this is something you may struggle with and need help with - not the ridicule of shaving your head... that would only make it much much worse. Stay strong honey. :) Take it one day at a time.
I'm so sorry to hear that!
I'm so sorry to hear that! Unfortunetly, I haven't recovered yet, so I wish you the best of luck! ;)
