Okay so when i was fourteen i was diagnosed with Trich.
Throughout highschool I tried absolutely almost everything i could think of to stop.
went to psychologists...psychologists
used rubber bands... meanwhile since i played sports i had to find a way to hide my disorder.
so i had to wear a weave which actually caused more damage to my hair then i think i would have done. I now wear a wig
i even tried ACUPUNCTURE. this actually helped me stop for about 2 months. but because my case is so severe i started right back up again.
i went back again... and now its not working.
i just started college last semester... and im sick and tired of pulling. it holds me back from so many things especially from playing sports because of the fact that my wig could be knocked off.
many guys have dumped me because of this situation and its really frustrating and I am out of options on what to do.
That's rough! My husband has
That's rough! My husband has been supportive and claims he can't tell (mmhmm...) but there are times when I don't want him to see me, especially if I had just pulled and made things worse. Take last night for instance...upon discovering that I had just pulled out nearly all my eyelashes (!!!) on my right eye...I was thankful that he was downstairs watching TV in the dark; you can't notice it in the dark. He says I'm beautiful, but I don't believe him.
So it definately does put a strain on relationships!
