I do have to say, I lol'd that one of the things you would tell yourself is to stop pulling. You know it's not that easy!!!!!  |
Hugs to you too sweetie!
It may be in a semi-private forum (as most people don't know our real names) but this is the first time I've "publically" admitted that I suffer from Trich. But there isn't a reason to be ashamed. It is a recognized disorder. I have tried therapy but I haven't found anyone who specializes in OCD. The town I live in, while it is a military town, isn't as big as Phoenix.
