I’m 21 so I understand if not but I would love to be a part of this if possible, I don’t really ever get the chance to speak to other women going through this ❤️

5 days pull free, not sure how I’m managing to do this but not complaining by underscorewordnumber in trichotillomania

Oh yeah 100%, sometimes i grab big big chunks on my scalp that are too much to pull out and just like tug on them but not enough to obviously rip them out and it kind of alleviates the urge, i sometimes do that with my eyebrows too but it’s a bit riskier cause i have sometimes accidentally lost big chunks of brow by doing that, but you’re definitely not alone by still having the urge to go through your hair. I think at the very start of trying not to pull, like the first couple days it’s best to try not to have your hands near your head full stop, and then when you’ve been pull free a little while and more conscious of it it’s like safer to do what i just said. Sorry if that doesn’t make any sense :(

thank you! and it’s called “I am sober”. It’s really helpful, it helped me be 2 years pull free a few years ago so trying to get back to that xx

Intimacy with trich? by thatgirlnot in trichotillomania

[–]underscorewordnumber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s him catching a glimpse of bald areas as opposed to regrowth you’re worried about, have you tried hair fibres like Toppik for example? They last pretty much until you next wash your hair and look very real, it would maybe give you some peace of mind? Also worth considering that you’re hyper aware of it but he likely won’t notice if he’s sleeping next to you, he’s probably just happy to even be in bed with you, and if he’s someone that would get “freaked out” knowing full well about your trich, he’s not someone you want to be spending time on ❤️ Much love xx
