My Life with Trichotillomania | Emma Eudy | TEDxEnloeHighSchool

[@Kaycedinobi]

I also suffer from this. It started when I was 10 and I’m turning 20 next year. No one knows outside my family, others just think I’m bald from alopecia or something. My way of coping with it is through my KZbin channel which helps my anxiety & depression. I’m also currently a 3rd year medical student because I want to gather Information on this disorder and why it happens so I can one day start my own foundation that helps people with this disorder and raise awareness to the world. Wow, that felt so good to share!😭, it’s been bottled in for 10years😭

Hey I also have Trich, that’s so amazing you want to spread awareness about this. Just a heads up there are private support groups on Facebook for ppl who have Trich looking for support. I also have a group chat. You can find me on FB if you’re interested

Can i recover from this illness ever ?

[@thegalaxycrossovers]

Look I know that it seems impossible to recover from. I too in fact struggle with it but I know that you can recover from this. And if not im always here. Were in this situation together. I hope you believe in yourself and its okay to reach out.

[@Faceon6790]

Do i have trichotillomania?.. i’m still a kid, but i don’t have anxiety or pull my hair out, but i always pull my eyelashes and eyebrows..

[@No_ideaoKkk]

Mimi Onoue I believe you do at least that’s what my doctor told me is that it is any hair

[@MMMM09]

I know it’s been 3 years but it develops at any age however more common in early teens (12/13). Eyelashes and eyebrows are really common places. If you still pull you probably have it.
