I do not know if I am posting this in the right place but we really do not have an OCD thread on the board. With the exception of one person in this community I usually never discuss this with anyone. So I feel that this is a huge step for me and very terrifying.
I have trichtillomania and it controls my life. For those of you who do not know what it is trich is a disorder that causes people to pull out their own hair. I have a mild case...thank god.... I just pull out my eyebrows. Some people pull all the hair off their bodies. However the result is I have no eyebrows. I am so embarassed by this because I always get questions but I usually never tell the truth..Most of the time I respond with I have a medical condition.. and leave it at that.
This is always with me..I never get a break and it haunts me all the time.
Well there it is off my back..I finally talked about it. Now I need a nap *L*

That took a lot of courage - good for you!!!! ((((shakes)))) I know it's not easy to talk about it, but once you do, you might feel a bit better. Take care.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
