Confessions of a Trichotillomaniac
Description
I'm Kristin, 16 years old. I have Trichotillomania and Dermatillomania, I pull my hair and pick at my skin. I'm here for anyone and everyone, hopefully someone can be here for me as well. If you came here looking for a "happily ever after" story, you've come to the wrong place. This disorder is no fairytale, welcome to the Diary of a Trichotillomaniac.Links
I love that you wrote that: dairy, (that’s made for cow children and not for humans. It does nothing for your health. The whole calcium thing is a marketing strategy.) - that is exactly what I keep telling everybody. Humans should drink their Mom's milk while they're babies and then stop the dairy, just like cows do.
"It takes exactly one million compliments to erase the pain of one insult."
Night 1: I’m going to try and quit. Again. So far, so good. I’ve made it 6 hours. Progress.
You’ve got to start somewhere. I’ve still got a little fight in me, and it’s all going towards quiting. Here we go.
Wait. What. No. YOU CANNOT POST THINGS LIKE THAT. WAIT. TALK TO ME, LOVE.
I’m alright, hun. I just wrote it on here to remind myself to get that book. It sounds interesting. I’ll be ok, I’ve been there.. done that. I never want to go back to that place in my life ever again.

I’m sorry I’ve neglected all of you lately, it was never my intention to stop posting. But sometimes, life happens.
So it has to be months since the last time I posted in this blog. For those of you wondering…
I still have trich. My fiance now knows, he accepts me. Other than that, no more good news.
I’m definitely going to start posting in the blog everyday like I was when I first started it. It helped more than I realized. I haven’t gone a day “pull free” in over 6 months.
I have to quit, and I’m back at it again. I’ll need all you guys’ help. And I’ll be helping all of you as well. So, as far as the “Diary of a Trichotillomaniac” girl.. I’m back, barely hanging on, but still ready to face the fight.
I'm SO excited for you regarding the Dr. Phil show. Represent! :D Good luck with it, I'll be watching!
Thanks so much! (: I really want this to be a turning point for young people to be more open about this and if that means being one of the first to step up and admit it and own it, then so be it! Thanks again, it means a lot. <3

It’s so hard to quit… because it’s impossible to run away from yourself.
Hello, love. How are you?
I’m doing a little better today. :) And yourself?
I have Trichotillomania too. I had it for 9 years now. I hate it. It makes me look like a freak. I've tried stopping but I can't. I don't know what to do anymore.
You’re not a freak. You are capable of quitting but it’s like a drug.. and it’s so incredibly hard to get away from. You can run away from yourself.
