I've been pulling for as long as I can remember, but I didnt know there was a name for it until about a year ago. Ive always been embarrassed and ashamed to go to the salon, so ive just trimmed the ends of my hair myself. However, the left side of my head is where I pull the most, so on the side my hair is super thin and balding. Im getting tired of my ...

Hi All,

I am writing this with my relationship at whit's end. I am 40yo, have been married for 6 years, have 3 children, but my wife has had enough of my lying.

I grew up with a mother who used to lie all the time, and was verbally abusive towards us if we did something wrong. She still lies now. I despise her lying, yet I do this myself.... ...

I am 19 years old. I make no excuses. I have a loving family, albeit with their own trials and tribulations, as any family has. I lie all the time. Big and small things. When I lie, I know it is a lie, but I feel like it escapes me before I can control it. I lied about being raped. I wasn't. I started out saying to a fella I was seeing that I was ...

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site, just looking for some help with pulling.

I'm aged 26, male and living in the UK. I have been pulling at my eyebrows for a few years now and I think it is getting worse / more often. The urge to pull seems to increase when I'm either stressed or feeling low. For example right before my graduation I really did some damage, I ended up having to ...

I've been reading a lot in this forum and I realized a lot of us have something in common, we all crave the root of the hair and touching to our lips. Why do you think we desire the root of the hair? It's really interesting. I started pulling when I was 11 and I didn't know what on earth I was doing, it was just happening naturally. I never saw anyone pull their hair ...

This is the first time I have ever fully told my story. I have tried to tell people in my life but no one fully understood or never took me seriously. I have given up on trying to get those around me to understand my condition. I am a 23 year old female. My first memory of pulling happened back when I was about 9 years old. I was in summer school cause my parents ...

What's up guys,

I'm new to this forum, but I have been pulling my hair out for 9 Years off and on and surprisingly I'm not completely bald. I pull from 1 spot on the back of my head near my cow-lick (an area about the size of a 50 cent piece)

It has gotten really bad lately, and I know it's related to anxiety somehow, but I have never been to the doctor about ...

If you are having a problem with trich and taking other non-related medications, be sure to inform your doctor and do your own research. I've discovered there is limited research on certain medications' ability to trigger trichotillomania. Long story short, I've had medical problems since I was 15 that caused chronic pain, leading to ongoing use of pain killers, leading to addiction. I wanted to end the opiate dependence and started a medication called Suboxone, ...

I started randomly shoplifting small makeup items (mostly testers) from Ulta and Sephora a while back. I don't even plan on shoplifting. I go shopping like normal and then decide on the stop to take some things. Today is the first time I took something brand new. Normally I grab testers that can be sanitized. So I picked up a few things to browse around with, wandered around, and when I was in the cheap ...
