How I Beat Trichotillomania: My Journey to Self-Love and Acceptance
Trichotillomania.
I was 15 years old when I first came across this strange word online.
I had been feeling an unusual and uncontrollable urge to pull out my eyelashes, and I didn’t understand why these urges just wouldn’t stop.
A quick google search later and my eyes were opened to a whole new world of disorders called Body Focused Repetitive Disorders, or BFRB’s.
I had developed Trichotillomania, which is the recurrent and irresistible urge to pull out your own hair.
The next four years in high school were filled with learning to hide the effects that trichotillomania had on my appearance and my confidence. I became an expert at applying fake eyelashes and filling in my eyebrows.
To this day I am still amazed that I was able to get up early each morning to make myself appear ‘normal.’ When I look at the photos of the time, I look happy….but I knew that this couldn’t be further from the truth.
On the surface I tried not to let my trich get in the way of my daily life but underneath the fake lashes, I was really struggling. I was constantly terrified that my classmates would find out about my pulling, and I actively avoided situations where I could be ‘outed.’
I avoided sports, pool parties, sleepovers, and so much more. I was scared, and my confidence was at an all-time low. Looking back, I am positive that my trichotillomania was a major contributing factor to my shyness and hesitancy to make close friends in high school.
I simply didn’t want anyone to know, and I never let anyone get close enough to figure it out.
After graduation my trichotillomania seemed to take a turn for the worse. With a combination of life changes and family troubles, I found myself pulling more than ever, and I had begun to pull from my head. My close coworkers started to notice my thinning hair, and I always just chalked it up to stress.
One day a young coworker decided that she was curious about my hair and asked “Why is your hair so thin..?” in front of our entire staff. I laughed it off and replied, “I've always just had very fine hair!” but inside I was mortified and ashamed.
I didn’t even know how to start the conversation about Trichotillomania, but I felt that responding with “I pull it out” probably wasn’t the best way to go about it.
When the pandemic began and I found myself with lots of spare time, I really started to dive into the world of Trichotillomania.
It initially started with searching for ways to help ‘cure’ my trichotillomania, but what I found was so much better than I ever could have imagined; I had stumbled into the amazing and encouraging community of hair loss awareness and acceptance.
Through instagrammer and fellow trichster Hattie (@my_trich_journey), my feelings of isolation and fear were validated and acknowledged, and Hattie helped to show me that I don’t have to feel that way.
Hattie was and continues to be such an inspiration for me in my hair loss journey. Her advocacy is encouraging and comforting, providing guidance and love no matter where you are in your hair loss and hair loss acceptance journey.
I know that Trichotillomania and hair loss can be very frightening and can leave you feeling ashamed and alone, but through Hattie I have learned that I am so much more than my hair loss. It was also through Hattie that I discovered the beautiful and exciting world of wigs and toppers!
If you had asked me about wearing wigs 2 years ago I would probably have called you crazy…. but boy was I wrong!
Trying on my first hair topper was an unforgettable experience. I had found a topper that perfectly matched the curly bio hair that I so dearly missed. For the first time in years I felt truly beautiful and happy with what I saw in the mirror.
It was so scary showing the alternative hair to my family and wearing the new hair in public, but I soon fell in love with the newfound confidence that came with the hair. I didn’t dread going in public anymore because I no longer felt like everyone’s eyes were on my hair and my scalp.
Seven months later and I now have a small army of wigs and alternative hair pieces that I have fallen in love with. I can confidently say that finding alternative hair has been the first step in helping me to rediscover myself and my passions.
I no longer feel like I have to hide in fear of being ‘outed’ for my Trichotillomania hair loss.
Recently, I have decided to go public with my trichotillomania hair loss to create my very own Trichotillomania and hair loss awareness account. As Trichotillomania often led me to tricky situations in which I would have to hide or explain my hair loss, I appropriately called it @trichysituation.
Here, I am hoping to share my authentic and real time thoughts as I work to regain my confidence and take back what years of feeling ashamed of my hair loss has done to me. Even if my voice helps just one person in their hair loss acceptance, I am happy.
To this day I am continually working towards a kinder and more accepting self view.
I am still learning to accept that trichotillomania is a part of my life, but it doesn’t have to define me. My beauty and my worth here in this world have absolutely nothing to do with my hair, and I can still be the same beautiful and confident self regardless of what my hair looks like.
Most importantly, whether I decide to brave my thin hair and bare eyelids or rock some falsies and a long wig…. I am still the same beautiful me.

I was not allowed to take my money out after I had invested and made a profit. I sent a letter to customer service, but it was ineffective, so I realized I had been duped.

All you need is to hire an expert to help you accomplish that. If there’s any need to spy on your partner’s phone. From my experience I lacked evidence to confront my husband on my suspicion on his infidelity, until I came across ETHICALAHCKERS which many commend him of assisting them in their spying mission. So I contacted him and he provided me with access into his phone to view all text messages, call logs, WhatsApp messages and even her location. This evidence helped me move him off my life .

My college years were a whirlwind of excitement and exploration, marked by unforgettable adventures and pivotal experiences. It was during this vibrant chapter of my life that I met my ex-girlfriend, with whom I shared a significant relationship lasting three years. Our connection was not just personal but also intellectual; she introduced me to the world of cryptocurrency trading, a domain that I quickly embraced with enthusiasm. I invested $5,000 in Bitcoin when it was still in its nascent stages, a decision that, in retrospect, proved remarkably prescient. Bitcoin was just beginning to capture mainstream attention, and its potential was palpable. Over time, through astute trading strategies and reinvestment of my returns, my initial investment burgeoned into an impressive $600,000. This success, however, was overshadowed by the turbulence that would soon follow. The end of my relationship was painful, primarily due to my ex-girlfriend’s infidelity. The emotional fallout was significant, but I never anticipated that her betrayal would extend into my financial life. One fateful day, she locked me out of my email account, a vital tool for managing my cryptocurrency investments. Although I had been cautious and had not stored my wallet passwords in my email, she had taken my phone, which granted her access to several of my accounts. Panic set in as I realized the gravity of the situation. My immediate concern was how to regain control over my accounts and protect my assets from potential loss or theft. With no time to lose, I reached out to my network for help. Many of my friends were fellow crypto traders, and they quickly rallied to assist me. One of the most recommended solutions was Wizard Web Recovery, a service known for its efficiency and reliability in handling such critical situations. Desperate and anxious, I contacted Spartan Tech Group Retrieval, laying out the details of my predicament. Their response was swift and reassuring. The team at Spartan Tech Group Retrieval was professional from the outset. They guided me through each step of the process with clear instructions and unwavering support. Their expertise in cybersecurity and account recovery was evident as they worked meticulously to secure my accounts and recover my locked email. The recovery process involved several crucial measures. First, Spartan Tech Group Retrieval implemented advanced security protocols to safeguard my personal information throughout the ordeal. Their careful attention to detail ensured that my sensitive data remained protected from further compromise. Not only did they succeed in regaining access to my email, but they also managed to secure my cryptocurrency wallet, which had been at risk. During their investigation, Spartan Tech Group Retrieval uncovered that my ex-girlfriend was indeed responsible for the breach. This revelation added another layer of complexity to the situation. Armed with this evidence, I took the necessary steps to report the matter to the authorities. The documentation and support provided by Spartan Tech Group Retrieval proved instrumental in the legal proceedings. The law took a firm stance against my ex-girlfriend, holding her accountable for her actions. To avoid severe legal consequences, she agreed to a settlement of $189,000. Although the experience of betrayal was deeply unsettling, the resolution provided a degree of closure and justice. The financial settlement, while significant, did not fully mitigate the emotional impact of the betrayal but offered some solace. Reflecting on the entire experience, it served as a harsh lesson in trust and the importance of safeguarding personal information. The ordeal underscored the darker aspects of human behavior and the potential consequences of misplaced trust. Yet, it also highlighted the remarkable value of having reliable and efficient support systems in place. Spartan Tech Group Retrieval prompt and effective action was pivotal in saving my assets and addressing the breach with a measure of justice. The journey through this challenging period was both a test of resilience and a reminder of the critical importance of vigilance in protecting one’s financial and personal information. The support I received from Spartan Tech Group Retrieval was invaluable, reaffirming the importance of having trusted allies in times of crisis.

Investing in cryptocurrency is a good idea. At the start of my cryptocurrency journey, I invested in a faux trading company who took over 90,000 Dogecoin and 2 BTC from me. It was a hell of a time for me, I was in urgent need for a recovery expert to get my funds and Century Hackers Recovery came to my rescue. He was useful from the point of contact to the end when he retrieved my funds from the bogus company and placed me on a genuine trading platform where I earned lot of profits. I’ll urge you to use the services of Century Hackers if you are in a similar situation which I was at that time. Send a mail today Via century@cyberservices.com

Good work speaks for itself. Not saying this just to seem relevant neither is it a paid advertisement or review. But everyone who has had their funds or crypto stolen can listen, attest, and affirm that, that’s the most depressing thing ever. Your mind keeps bullying you on how you saw the signs and indications of how that investment was just a scheme but went ahead to make the deposit or give out your details. Before I met DECODE HACKERS, the savior of my 3 BITCOINS fraudulent loss, I had run into a sunken spirit. Life seemed like a huge game at the moment. Shortly after trying them out, they sent me a video of how they had tapped into the account holding my BTC. In an account in Berlin. It was a quick operation from there to ensure the BTC was not withdrawn or transferred by the fraudsters. My cryptos were back and that came as a huge relief to my engraved mind. I do believe now that all hope is not lost and there exists trustworthy and credible hackers out here. All the best as you seek help too. Their email and telegram are
