It took me awhile to even realize that I had Trichotillomania at first, I mean years and years went by. The signs have always been there, since I was just child, but I didn’t even know to look for signs? What little kid is out looking for signs anyway? Clearly my mom didn’t either or […]
Is There a Connection Between Trichotillomania and Thumbsucking?
I am a Hair Puller and Thumb Sucker Another little dirty habit I have is sucking my thumb. That’s a picture of me sucking my thumb while pulling my hair (talented, I know). I have been sucking my thumb and pulling my hair together so long that I don’t even remember which came first? As […]
Just a Rant About a Blonde Hair and Nightmares
Okay after my last rant, I did finally get rescheduled and I got my hair done. I got it done by a real pro and everyone has been complimenting me on it. You know how I was dreading talking to her? It really wasn’t THAT BAD! I’m really not used to be complimented this much.. […]
I Waited 5 Weeks

My Confession of Faith – Because Will Power Won’t Work!
In a small, intimate group I’m a part of I made a confession of faith that I was going to be freed of Trichotillomania and my hair is going to be restored. The thing is, I have no idea how its gonna happen and I love it. Faith says, I believe it without seeing it. […]
The Greek Meaning of Anxiety – And Why Someone with TRICH Might Care to Know!
The Greek Meaning of Anxiety is Pretty Trich The topic of anxiety was brought up in a book I’m reading for school. I read that the word Anxiety, in the Greek, means dividing and fracturing a person’s being into parts. So literally, you’re PULLING yourself into parts when you have anxiety. Let that sink in. When […]
Maybe I Got Gum in My Hair? and Other Lies Trichs Tell the Hair Dresser
I do not like getting haircuts. I know I’ve said this before but seriously, my anxiety levels rise because I just don’t want to talk to a hair stylist about having trich.. …it’s obviously noticeable to someone in the hair biz. I just got a hair cut 6 weeks ago but I have to style my hair […]
Does Stress Cause Crazy Dreams? What Do My Teeth Have To Do With It?
