Hi! I'm new here! I have been dealing with trich since my senior year in high school and I'm now 55 years old. It was always somewhat under control, but for the last 18 months I have no body hair except for my eyelashes and brows. I wear wigs and to avoid seeing people I don't go out into public where there is a chance I will see someone who would know me. I do my shopping and what ever else I can do very late at night or very early in morning so I will not see any one I know!!! I have sought out help for this so many times in my life. It's a control thing for me when my life is out of my control I pull. I have seen atleast 6 different therapist with no help to my trich. Been working on all my other issues with my therapist which helps but I have pulled so long my hair never fully grows back. I also pull my wig hair and the cost of buying wigs every month is very costly.
So what I really wanted to say is get help early, work with a therapist and a there is a wonderful website called tlc. It's just to late for me!!
