Anonymous asked: My pulling is at my eyebrows, but I mess with my hairline a little. The thing is, at my hairline, it's not so much pulling as it is picking. My spots along the hairline are bald because I've dug the skin out so deep with my nails that I think I've dug up a layer below the roots. Sometimes I come down with a bloody scab with several roots contained in it. I cut my nails and try to...

There is hope. It is...

Anonymous asked: i have a real problem with pulling, but the thing is that i don't pull from my head--not often, anyway, or enough for it to cause bald spots--or my eyelashes, which are supposed to be the most common/noticeable areas. but i frequently pull almost every other type of hair. i have a lot of serious anxiety issues, but i'm afraid to say anything about them. how am i supposed to get help for...

Anonymous asked: I'm sure you've seen this a lot, but I have to voice my thanks too. This makes me feel less alone, which makes me feel less like a freak. It never really occurred to me that there was such a supportive community for trich.

colorinyourworld asked: Something I do (I only pull from my scalp) is wear a hat- all the time. I have one in every room in my house and I keep one in my car and in my bag at all times. I can't wear it at school, but it definitely helps.

whateverittakestobreakyou asked: For those of you who haven't told your friends or family or romantic partners that you have trich because you're afraid they'll think you're psycho - I don't have trich. My best friend recently told me shes had it for years now. She was scared I'd think it was weird or gross, but I - and many other people without trich - honestly don't think it's all that...

e-tree asked: With the anon who was asking about people pulling "down there", I just wanted to say you are definitely not alone. It's where I focus, and despite not being able to comfortably talk about it, I'm actually slightly thankful that's where I focus, since it is so easy to hide.

Anonymous asked: To the anon about pulling "down there", that is how my trich started, and I really think that it is just a more embarrassing part of trich to talk about, so blogs (including mine) don't post about it. Don't feel alone.

egregiously asked: Re: the bloody root, I've read conflicting information. Apparently if blood comes out you've damaged the papilla, which is connected to the blood vessels, and those provide nourishment to the root. If you damage the papilla permanently, the hair won't grow back. However, I've also read that the hair can grow back even if the papilla is damaged. In my own experience, I've...

Anonymous asked: What is it like when you pull out a root or whatever that makes it bloody? I pull from my head and I never know what to look for to see, and I'm scared. Does it look very bloody? Sorry that this was so awkwardly worded.
