Venting Is there anyone here who has trichotillomania?

[letmeseethedeath]

it is killing me slowly, day by day, i attend university and i study radiology and i always go with a cap but people look at me so weird
i'm a female with very several bald spots and very several years of therapy but i suffer from depression,OCD, and a lot of pain called life and i want to ctb so bad but for some reason i'm a coward i don't have the courage to do it
i just stay here waiting to lose lucidity and finally ctb
i'm sending hugs to y'all
you are not alone

yeah I think I do. I've pulled my hair since 10th grade. I still have places with short hair. I sometimes do it on purpose or not realizing it plus idk why if the hair doesnt feel right it must pulled out.

they don't feel perfect...away they go. Idk of thats classified at that exactly it also happens when im stressed or upset.

only with my eyelashes

but I can relate as someone who has a moderate or sometimes severe skin picking problem/dermatillomania which also causes strange stares and a lot of rude and sometimes inappropriate questions

have had it for years, the worst time is when it feels like I can't stop or like my hand is doing its own thing and each time my hands make contact with any part of myself it searches for imperfections to probably pick until they are "gone" and the cycle repeats leaving something else behind to remove
