Hello everyone, just thought I'd share a success story in hopes it might inspire others. I don't have trichotillomania, I have dermatillomania which is the same thing except I tear and pick at my skin instead. As long as I can remember (we're talking like first or second grade) I would obsessively pick the skin off my fingers. At some point along the line, I decided that if I confined it just to my thumbs, ...

Hi! I've been kind of wandering around lots of forums on here, and I posted something about my PTSD earlier (here's to hoping that gets approved soon!). So anyways, I'm 16 years old and I think I have a shoplifting addiction? (I'm assuming that's pretty obvious since I'm posting in a shoplifting forum.)

I think my shoplifting addiction stems from my PTSD - or, at least, the trauma I went through to wind up with ...

I have a series of major problems ranging from tics to uncontrollable anger (more like whining, I never do anything physical just whine and I can't shut up) and speaking of that I have horrible vocal control. I spout out words, secrets, lies, etc and can't seem to stop though I do many things from punishments to isolating myself, I think I'm just hrting myself more because these aren't my choice.

I'll start off by ...

I've lied so much some days I don't believe myself anymore. It started young with my parents, then classmates, friends and then just about everyone I had any interaction with.
I wasn't the coolest kid, or the smartest kid in school, I attended Catholic school so guilt is a per-requisite, so I used the 'little-white-lie' to get thru the day then at home to avoid my parents, it made me seem interesting and fun in ...

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not but I am looking for some advice. Sorry for the length of this message.

When I was living in a college dorm 4-5 years ago I feel madly in love with someone, who I will call N.. While we were never together there were a lot of signs we were emotionally connected when in the same room and that we ...

As a resident of the UK I am considering going to get treatment on the NHS. Has anyone else done this? What was it like? Did it help?

Hey I Have been l compulsive liar for nearly 4 months because I was to afraid to speak the truth. Recently I have learned to think about things i have lied about, which I I have forgave myself for already, I've realized that I have a lot of support for me, and Also realize that telling the truth and getting help to meet and fulfill my needs in a healthier way is much more affective ...

Hello,

So i wanted to get a second opinion for a personality disorder diagnosis. Turns out the doctor just wrote his opinion of out 6 hours of interaction between us. He didn't administer any personality tests according to my final report. Instead he wrote in Axis 2: Deffered. And in Axis 1: Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.

I read that Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder is intended for a diagnosis in children under 18. The problem with ...

Hi there!

This is my first post. For some brief history, I suffered with panic and anxiety disorder for almost 20 years. Throughout I always had OCD symptoms (even as a kid I used to use up whole bottles of glue, spending hours dumping it on my hands so I could peel it off... it was the only way I could stop picking at scabs and getting them infected), but the panic always overshadowed everything ...

But it takes time to build self control . It has been almost 26 years trichlothilomania still asks me to pull. It seems like it won't go away whole life . But I have a limit where I don't pull unnecessary hair. Every trichlothilomania sufferer has a spot . Spot is really small . But people pull hair where even trichlothilomania doesn't asks them to pull . That's a real problem.! And people get bald ...
