I was diagnosed with the mental health disorder, Trichotillomania over 9 years ago, and it is a challenge I face each and every day.

I experienced shame, confusion, and hopelessness when I was first diagnosed. I was 14 years old, facing an incurable impulsive hair-pulling disorder I would most likely have for the rest of my life. But I turned to social media to connect with others who were experiencing what I was. I thought these accounts were incredibly brave to be so vulnerable and open with the fellow Trich community. And now, it’s my time to create a space to help others struggling.

I always knew my time would come!
