Hair Pulling (Trichotillomania)

[Guest pumpkinpatchPrincess]

Hi everyone! I have been having reoccurring episodes of my trich (pulling my hair out) as of late. I have just grown my hair down to my breasts after over 2 years of waiting for it to grow and am now developing a bald patch on my crown. I feel defeated in the sense of having put so much effort and having it backfire and fail. How can I continue to feel little, beautiful and loved?

 

My Daddy says he love me and I believe him, but I feel as though this makes me less pretty and as if he won't want me anymore.

 

Any other littles struggling with this thought process? Any Doms have littles with this condition; if so, can you share your experiences? 

 

If you can share any experience you have with trich, it would really help to make me fee less alone :$

 

Thank you.

My mom does this and she also has a bald spot at the crown of her head and when she pulls her hair its usually because of stress so i try my best to make sure she isn't stressed so i recommend you take away the peole and the things in ur life that cause you to stress

i have recurring episodes of trichotillomania too where i pull out all of my eyelashes. most of the time, it's something i do without even noticing i'm doing it. it's actually an anxiety disorder and tends to occur when people are particularly anxious or stressed. if you're interested in changing your behavior, try thinking about what stresses you out or makes you anxious and see if you can get rid of those things in your life. it'll help immensely

i have mild trich (extreme derma though) where i'll pull my eyebrows, pubic, sometimes arm or leg, and rarely head. i dont have much experiences with any bald spots but believe me when i tell you this, your trich does not define who you are

I keep my hair pulled back into a tight bun sometimes to keep myself from pulling it

I've been struggling with trich since I was 12, so almost 7 years now. it's such a hard thing to overcome. I have large bald patches on the back of my head, and occasionally screw up my eyebrows by pulling at them too much. I also pull my eyelashes out, but never all at once. This is such a hard thing to struggle with, since there's not really any cure for it. I wish you the best in trying to overcome it, and by the replies to this post you now know that you're not the only little who stuggles with this.

my trich started when i was 7 or 8 (due to anxiety from abuse) and it hasn't ever really gone away sadly :/

Mine started when I was 5 and has left for longs spells, but never completely.

My sister has this, not by diagnosis, but its what she has.  She pulls out her Eyebrows and eyelashes...all of them at her worst point around 6 or 7.  Its definitely a stress and anxiety dis order. She also bits her nails...to the point of bleeding. She wears gel nails to help with that.

 

As for advice,  You want to make sure you eat and sleep well to help manage your stress. Also, I think the most helpful thing really is to tell people close to you in your life about it.  Because I know my sister has this and what triggers it and what it looks like on her I can sorta say "Hey, what's going on or you might want to check this" you know just kinda look out for her.

 

I hope that helps with practical advice.

wow..my first day on this site and am kinda happy i joined i have trich too, but usually only pull from 'traditional' places where hair is removed from girls, chin (LOL), knuckles, and mostly on my legs (have the marks to prove it). 

 

I find myself opening up immediately now and letting whoever I'm dating know that I deal with this, so I don't have to worry about them noticing or not. My most recent potential Daddy told me to try focusing on looking good for him, which meant not picking too much. 

 

I've learned there's no real secret to stopping or not...sometimes there's periods I do too much of it and sometimes there's periods I don't do it as often.
