this is gonna be a long one so buckle up
for starters you might be wondering what trichotillomania or aka trich is well…
A disorder that involves recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out body hair.
The urges involve pulling out hair from the scalp, eyebrows, or other areas of the body.
my trich is usually triggered by stress or anxiety
2015- my parents had just gotten divorced and there was a lot of change happening i went on a month long trip with my dad i left with eyebrows and eyelashes and came back with neither of those
2016- moved across the country and started a new school in a new home with no friends more change while also dealing with ptsd from the divorce abuse i was experiencing at home and my dad getting remarried started picking my eyelashes and eyebrows to the point i had neither and started to have scabs on my eyebrows from trying to pick hair but there being nothing
2017 - was getting heavily bullied not just for my trich but also for my weight and for being “the weird kid” dealing with really bad depression and anxiety. tried drawing on my eyebrows but just got bullied even harder for it
2018 - bullying for the most part stopped but still not getting help for my mental health while also simultaneously dealing with two separate eating disorders
2019 - just before the pandemic started still not getting the help i needed. my trich got so bad i started picking underneath my hair and had a bald spot could not stop picking at any hair on my body due to anxiety
2020 - pandemic started and not being in social situations or school helped my eyebrows grow back and the bald spot start to heal due to not having to deal with social anxiety. depression was still really bad and the eating disorder was just worse
2021- started picking after school started again and being in a toxic relationship still had an eating disorder but was getting better but still missing half my eyebrows bald spot was fully growing back though
2023- after having eyebrows eyelashes and hair was getting the help i needed for my mental disorders and finally getting the diagnosis that i needed. but then i got fired from my job and picked at my eyelashes so bad it took three months for them to fully grow back again
RECOVERY IS NOT LINEAR. dont be so hard on yourself you got this!! trich can heavily effect ones self image but recovery is possible and there will always be resources and people available reach out to me my dms are always open!
