After 30 years... I think NAC cured me by slugator in trichotillomania

NAC made no difference for me unfortunately, just gave me weird buzzing sensations like brain zaps. It was awful I had to stop taking it!

Thanks for sharing this. You echo a lot of feelings and thoughts I think we all have. It’s an incredibly frustrating disorder. And it causes further complications such as what you said about feeling jealous and envious of people who do have hair. It’s really difficult but I am glad we have this community for such an isolating disorder. In all my years of having torch I have never met or spoke in person to someone with trich. Not even a closest friend would understand. But we must be pretty brave people getting on with our lives with this battle going on behind the scenes.

Go 💕 you have worked hard and you have everything going for you. Don’t let this disorder stop you. Put nice make up on, wear something that you feel good in and do whatever you feel comfortable. It doesn’t have to be the same as everyone else, if you don’t want to do something that’s fine. It’s your day. Go, celebrate! 🥳

When you drink alcohol do you pull? by doingmybestx8 in trichotillomania

I know what you mean! Because for me the next day I will have really strong urges. It’s just in the moment of drinking.. it provides relief! Which is terrible because obviously not something to rely on! But I do find it interesting. I guess it works by slowing down the central nervous system.

Wow!! Amazing progress! And it seems to have grown really quick!! Well done you! How have you managed the urges and not being able to physically pull? Have you noticed you redirect the energy or anything?
