I have had trichotillomania since I was 8 and I was wondering if anyone had it so I could have some friends to talk to about what I'm going through.
If so email me! Thanks a lot.

My oldest daughter had it for almost a year when she was about 10 until we were able to figure out what was going on and got her to see a psychologist.
The psychologist helped her stop almost immediately and it never recurred. HOWEVER, she did start cutting in junior high and developed a drug addiction to cocaine. It was finally diagnosed as borderline personality disorder and depression at the age of 16.
