#trichster

The urge to tell someone about how badly I want to pull my hair back but it’s too short and knowing that if I do the only response I will get is going to be about how it’s my fault that it’s this short and that if I had just listened and not pulled my hair it would’ve been down my back by now

I wish wigs were more comfortable. Maybe in the winter they won’t be as hot. But I wish I could wear them more often. Just to have the feeling of long, fresh hair again. Wigs let me feel free just for a little while.

Shoutout to people with trichotillomania. People with bald spots. People with patchy or no eyebrows. People with thin or no lashes. People with sores on their faces, their scalps, their legs, their arms, or everywhere. People who pull consciously, subconsciously, or both. People who can't swim or wear certain clothes because of trichotillomania. People whose trichotillomania causes them pain. People whose trichotillomania doesn't. People who pull 24/7, people who don't or barely pull anymore. People who want to get better and people who don't. People who visibly have it and people who don't. People who are open about their trichotillomania, and people who aren't. You're doing amazing however you handle it. You are beautiful regardless of your hair and how you feel about it. You are beautiful regardless your urges. You are beautiful and worthy of love. I'm proud of you.
