Yes, in my 20s I told my psychoanalyst about it. She didn't react much at all. Everyone I've been seriously invested in has known. I either told them,or they noticed my bald patches.

Now that I'm post menopausal I am sadder than ever about it because the hair has not really grown back. I haven't pulled in about 2 years now. It's very depressing and I don't dare look at the balder side of my head. It would be much too upsetting.
