I have been diagnosed with Trichotillomania by a therapist back in 2011. I would take hours and hours to pull out my hair to the point of wearing a wig. I have been wearing a wig for many years. I was stressed, due to the trauma that I have experienced, often left me in deep humiliation and wearing a wig further humiliates me, as there were people who asked me whether I was wearing a wig. I am glad however from 2019 and onwards, I started to grow back my hair and right now I do not have to wear a wig. I felt relieved when I pulled out my hair and I started pulling my hair since I was young.

Possible trigger:
I would show it to my therapist to see it. I started doing this in 2017.
