What is your earliest memory of trichotillomania?

I think mine is from around the 3rd grade, my mom walked in on me counting a handful of eyelashes in my room. I’m 27 now and still struggle with it, though now I combat at it with head picking which I’m not sure if that’s any better.

I can’t pick my eyebrows much anymore because I went through chemotherapy and one uncontrolled plucking sesh lead to me having no eyebrows anymore. They’re just barely starting to grow back, it’s my biggest struggle for sure these days. My triggers are usually when I have a headache or if I’m wearing sunscreen.

I wish I could hug all of you in this community, it’s nice knowing that we are in this together.

Best nail salon?

Hi! I’m pretty simple when it comes to what I get on my nails so I am more interested in a place with good service! I like a place where it doesn’t feel like they’re in super rush, and extra bonus if they give a good massage!

I’ve tried Polished and Champagne nails and maybe it was just an off day but felt like they tried to get me in and out as fast as possible and it was painful.

Thanks!
