Im 17 and have been suffereing from trich
since I was 10 and in the 5th grade. I
would just get so stressed and start
pulling. Ive been to tons of doctors been
put on tons of antidepressants (so far
prozac at 3x the normal dosage has been
helping) but I have slight bald spots all
over my head. I've found ways to hide
them by putting my hair like half up or in
a ponytail because most of it is at my
crown, but now when I get stressed and
wanna pull, my hand wanders to the part
where the hair is half up half down. Now
im missing lots of hair there and half of
the hair there is 1-2in. I tried helping
myself by pulling at the back of my head
where my neck is, this doesnt show half as
bad, i've tried pulling armhair, using
tweezers and pulling leg hair (very
painful but doesnt hurt half as bad as
razor burn from the shaver) even pubic
hair-balding down there too (but hey it
doesnt hurt half as bad as shaving or
waxing that). I have tiny eyebrows and
everyone says, why are you missing half of
them.. Im like uh.. .I like it like
that? I would say that over the past year
i've been cutting down on pulling by like
half, but whenever something makes me
stressy there I go again.. I cheer and I
find that when we arent in the middle of a
cheer my hand is up at my hair because im
nervous for my team.. Yeah tell me about
it I know. And during finals at school I
find that at every desk I have there is a
little pile of pulled hair around it. I
have everyone trying to help me, my
parents buy me paint brushes but I just
dont get the feel of the umm like pain
kind of when u pull out your own hair, I
have all my friends like hittin me,
slappin my hand, removing my hand when
they see me do it, my boyfriend does the
same, and that kind of helps a bit. Last
year the week before homecoming came I got
really stressed and pulled out all of my
bangs.. It was a sad sight, expecially
when they are growing back.. I was so
embarrassed. But they are all the way
back now, and the hair on my crown, well
3/4 of it is about 6in long! I feel ive
been doing better and I keep telling
myself that they dont have bald models,
(i've always aspired to be one, im 5'11
and 130lbs -yes im healthy I eat right and
everything) and it has helped me alot...
If ne one would like to chat about this u
can reply or send me a message or even I
have aol: seksytrish04 yahoo: turshe_8604
and msn: tr
isha_tlc_04@hotmail.Com... Thanks for
lending an ear for me to vent! I hope
some of my techniques can help others..

heck they are talking about!~ ~*turshe*~
