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.

Victim of a Pig-Butchering Scam? Here’s How I Recovered My Crypto
If you’ve fallen victim to a Pig-Butchering scam, you’re not alone, and more importantly, there’s still hope.
I’m sharing my story to raise awareness and help others who’ve been scammed recover their stolen digital assets. Two months ago, I lost $1,846,000 worth of Bitcoin and ETH in one of these sophisticated frauds.
It began with someone posing as a popular investor named “Ryan” on Instagram. His account looked legitimate, He reached out offering what seemed like a private, lucrative crypto investment opportunity. Everything seemed real, so I invested. Over the course of several weeks, I transferred significant amounts of crypto.
Then, without warning, the account was wiped clean. My entire balance gone.
I reported it to the authorities immediately, but despite their efforts, there was little they could do. Crypto transactions are notoriously hard to reverse, and scammers often route funds through multiple wallets to hide their tracks. Thankfully, a colleague with strong government connections referred me to a professional recovery team called Morphohack. He had heard they were reputable and had helped others in similar situations.
With nothing left to lose, I reached out and shared every detail I had, transaction records, addresses, communications. The Morphohack team responded quickly and took immediate action. Incredibly, within 96 hours, they traced my assets through the blockchain and successfully recovered the majority of my stolen funds. I was in shock. After everything, I thought my money was gone for good, but they delivered what I thought was impossible.
I’m sharing this as a lifeline.
If you or someone you know has been targeted by a Pig-Butchering scam, don’t suffer in silence. Reach out and explore recovery options.
You can contact Morphohack via E-mail:MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES . COM
Please share this to help others who may be struggling in silence, there is a path forward.

I caught my husband so many times through his chats, and all about his cheating on me, and when I tried talking to him, he always claims that he was not cheating and all that. Right now he hides his phone from me and I still feel his cheating, cause I could not break into his phone any more. So I was referred to a hacker named Mackenzie, who I went to for help and this hacker was able to break into my husband’s phone and provided me with the access to my husband’s phone without my spouse knowing. Right in my phone, I have all my husbands daily activities. I got to read all his chats, texts, calls and many more. This hacker is really great, thank you. Contact her on,

The marital crisis I was going through came to and end when Dr Isikolo got involved. Just like every other couples out there, we had our differences and I ensure I did my best to lead her right, provide for her and my kids and also protected them. We both made sacrifices to ensure we survived the union until she started acting up and deliberately had so many fights with me. The home became unpleasant for everyone else including my children. She was being manipulated by a friend who had been divorced and wanted to also ruin my marriage. I had to contact Dr Isikolo and he responded and did his best to end the issues. He restored the love and connection between us and I can tell now that whatever illusion my wife was under has been taking away and she is a better woman now. The result of what Dr Isikolo did for me that manifested after two days was what amazed me. I and my household remain grateful. I appeal to anyone who needs help to fix their relationships and marital problems to contact Dr Isikolo because the solution is sure.

I’m from Germany and i lost 75 thousand euros in bitcoin investment last years and my father introduced me to recoveryhacker101 @ Gmail com who help me recover all my lost funds back thanks Recovery Hacker101
After college, struggling financially, I came across an automated crypto trading platform promising huge returns. Their flashy ads—luxury cars, exotic vacations, and people celebrating financial freedom—drew me in. Desperate for change, I invested what I could, even taking a small loan. The thrill was real: my balance seemed to double, even triple. Encouraged, I shared the platform with friends and family, believing I’d found the key to wealth.
But soon, the growth halted. Withdrawals were blocked, citing “account upgrades” and “market tightening.” Weeks became months. My funds vanished, and support gave only vague responses. I began to fear I was scammed. Desperate, I searched online and found glowing reviews of GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES, a recovery service.
Encouraged by success stories, I contacted them on Telegram. To my relief, they responded quickly and began tracking my assets. Within 10 hours, I had updates, and eventually, my funds were recovered. Their team not only helped me reclaim my money but also taught me the importance of due diligence and financial literacy.
Quick wealth is alluring, but risky. With GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES, I found both support and a second chance. Reach them at WhatsApp +18582759508, graywaretechservices.com, or contact@graywaretechservices.com.

I never thought I would be writing a testimony about losing my social media accounts to fraudsters. It seemed like a distant problem, something that happened to other people. But then it happened to me. My entire digital world crumbled in an instant when I realized my Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts had been compromised.
I felt a mix of emotions – anger, disbelief, and a deep sense of violation. These platforms were more than just social media accounts; they were extensions of myself, where I connected with friends, family, and followers. Losing them felt like losing a part of my identity.
I tried everything I could think of to regain control of my accounts. I contacted the platforms’ support teams, changed passwords, and even filed reports with the police. But nothing worked. It was like hitting a brick wall. I was desperate and starting to lose hope.
That’s when I stumbled upon Santoshi Hackers Intelligence. Initially, I was skeptical. How could anyone recover something that seemed permanently lost? But the desperation in my heart outweighed my doubts, and I decided to give it a shot.
From the moment I contacted Santoshi Hackers Intelligence, I felt a sense of relief. Their team was professional, compassionate, and reassuring. They explained the process clearly and patiently answered all my questions. I was impressed by their expertise and knowledge of social media recovery.
The recovery process itself was a rollercoaster of emotions. There were moments of excitement and hope, followed by periods of doubt and uncertainty. But the Santoshi Hackers Intelligence team was with me every step of the way, providing updates and support.
To my astonishment, after what felt like an eternity, they managed to recover my accounts! It was like a dream come true. I couldn’t believe it was happening. I was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. Santoshi Hackers Intelligence had not only restored my accounts but also restored my faith in the possibility of recovery.
I cannot express my gratitude enough to Santoshi Hackers Intelligence. They are true heroes in the digital world. Their expertise, dedication, and compassion are unparalleled. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I urge you to reach out to Santoshi Hackers Intelligence without hesitation. They are the real deal.
