I wanted to do this kind of video, but I wasn't as brave as you. I could never show my hair if I knew that my friends and family could see it. I rip out the exact same spot, and my eyebrows. I just wish that I could stop.
You're amazing!
awww your comment is so sweet! 🥰
I completely understand the struggle and know that it’s not easy to stop! Regardless of what people say, or might think, it’s your struggle and if you decide to open up about it online one day, people like myself will admire you for that. Just know your not alone on this struggle! 💖
@@syerralariviere 💕💕 thank you!!
I’ve tried to stop pulling out my hair eyelashes eyebrows for over a year and I just hate peoples always point it out and I never explain it to them cause I guess they’ll thing it’s weird but I just told my 2 best friends about it and they were very understating and it made me feel so much better to tell someone other than my parents
I shaved my head bald in September 29 of 2022 bc of trich and i have videos of my journey on my channel. it was the best decision, i'm so glad i did it, i wish i did it sooner. i feel so liberated and empowered, it was truly life changing! plus, wigs are great and so fun if you choose to wear them. you can switch up your looks easily without damaging your real hair. I don’t plan on dying my hair ever again and keeping it virgin all the way.. ugh... the beauty of going bald and giving yourself that reset that you didn't know you needed.
When you reveal you’re hair it made me tear up I felt you’re pain and emotions in the very moments you took a deep breath. I’ve struggled since 7 and I’m 32 now. Stay strong one day at a time ❤️
thank you so much for your sweet comment! Stay strong, one day at a time! 💪🏻💕
This was amazing, you’re so brave for sharing your story! I know it mustn’t of been easy to do but it’s awesome that you did. You have nothing to be ashamed of and it’s important that people know about it so it can be destigmatized. I’m sorry you’ve been struggling with this, you are not alone, we’re here for you anytime you need us ❤️ I’m so proud of you and love you ❤️
Loved the video. Super proud of you!! Not an easy thing to do, to open up about your struggles with trichotillomania. You are soing so, so well. Love you, sweetie❤❤❤
We are so proud of you and you are so brave to make this video! We love you so much and will always be there for you. Grand papa and grand maman love you!!!
Thank you for sharing. Your progress is inspiring
Wow! What a brave girl you are…..Amazing! You should be very proud of yourself. I understand and relate to your daily struggles with this disorder as I, myself have been dealing with Trich basically my whole life. Started at the age of 8 and I am now 49 and still pulling. I’ve taken breaks where it grew back and I felt “normal” again. But something will trigger me and I’ll start all over. The problem now is that I have been pulling for so long that my hair will not grow back. Permanent damage!! So please keep that in mind. Right now you’re young and beautiful and your hair will grow back. So hang in there. Family support is HUGE so congrats on coming out! I can’t imagine how hard that was for you. But you did it! You have plenty of regrowth so that’s terrific!
Have you ever thought of extensions? I had some put in during a point in my life when I started pulling again. This actually prevented me from pulling. I had long lustrous hair. Really long, and it was real hair like your clip ons. But COVID hit and I couldn’t go to salon to keep up with the management so I was forced to take them out. Now I have started again on the left side of my head which seems to be the common spot. But now I’ve noticed it’s not regrowing so extensions are not an option if there’s no hair to tape onto too.
I wish I had some better advice for you but you are a smart girl who now has support and know you are not alone! Keep up the good work. God bless🙏🏼
thank you for the kind words! present day me is now bald haha! i decided to shave my head and donate the hair to charity. it’s helping me a lot and I’m even more confident now! 😊
Don't be ashamed at all dear, you are a beautiful, brave girl. I know exactly how you feel, and I know one feels ashamed and does not want anybody to know. It is an ongoing battle I know! I have been pulling on and of for many years and I understand each and every feeling you are describing. Just hang in there, try everything you can to not Start pulling one hair, because as you know once you start you don't stop! It takes tremendous willpower, but you CAN DO IT!
Thank you for sharing your story. I've been suffering from trich for 13+ years now...and I really really understand your struggle and most importantly the part about missing the simple pleasures of life. Moving to alternate hair systems really saved me and helped me to atleast start considering self-care as a priority rather than getting influenced by what everyone has to say. Plus CBT does help as well, especially when you have someone to talk to about it
I wish you all the very best and hope there'll be a day for you as well when you just 'Feel Free', in whatever sense it may be :)
awww thank you for this sweet comment! 🤍
I have the same issue and I want to say girl you don't need to be embarrassed about it at all!! You're so brave and strong to open up about this and you're beautiful even without those hair extensions! I know exactly how it feels so I just wanna say hang in there because you're not alone. Much love❤️❤️
aww thanks! very much appreciated!!💕
I've been struggling with pulling out my scalp hair and I don't even know how many years it has been. It must have been for like 5 years or more. So I can literally feel you girl , and I even cried with this video a lot. I'm 19 now and I always been insecure about this. Even my family weren't supportive and they would just make me feel worse and worse every single day , making me feel more anxious and nervous and so embarrassed , telling me how I'm gonna ba bald and how my head looks hairless.... I knew all this myself better than anyone else but I just couldn't stop it. I hate it when I have to go to hairdresser to cut my hair or anything. I hate it when they ask me or my mom why my hair is so few and there are bald patches on my scalp. And tbh I'm actually jealous when I see those girls or even my cousin having beautiful long healthy hair cause I always wanted to have long healthy hair. I've always felt embarrassed about this that I couldn't even tell my best friend , thinking she would not understand how I feel or she would just leave me alone. Thinking no one would understand me. I still pull my hair out sometimes but I've been trying so hard not to do that anymore. Using all kind of hair masks to regrow my hair... It still makes me feel horrible when I touch my scalp or when I just want to closure my hair and it feels so bald. Most of the times I feel so depressed and devastated about it but I've been trying really hard to stop it and not to get anxious about things anymore which is one of the hardest things to do. I just wanted you to know that you're not alone and I can feel every single word you said. Yet you were so brave to talk about it and create a video about it and girllll I'm sooooo proud of that... I also loved to be in contact with you because I felt like I finally found someone who can understand me well. So I'd be glad if you feel the same and we can be friends..😄❤️
awww I’m so sorry that response wasn’t very positive from your family. I am always here and my dm’s are always open.🥰 I feel and understand you, you have my full support and love!🤍
You are a very strong person. Thank you for sharing.
I understand how you feel and what you're going through.because I have the same, and it's a very difficult situation.thank you very much indeed for sharing this
Thank you so much for your bravery. You are a strong, beautiful young lady. What you have done by making this video is going to help so many people. The sufferer's of this condition and their family/ love ones, by understanding it a little bit better. Your parents did an amazing job raising you. Much respect💗
thank you so much for your lovely comment, means so much! people like you is what inspires me to keep making these videos! 💕
@@syerralariviere 💕 I wish you all the best in life
I have trichotillomania too, I feel you with making effort and then sometimes just relapsing and ruining all my progress in literally 3 days maximum and going back to step 1 all over again, I’ve had it for over 10 years now and wigs aren’t allowed in my religion but we got this and I wish the best for you :) thank you for being brave and showing us your hair, you’re beautiful inside and out ❤️
thank you sm for your supportive comment! :) it’s a constant battle, but we can do this! 👏🏻

Love this video so much and your regrowth is going great just try out rosemary with a oil to dilute it in my mom just showed me works good just can’t use it more than 2-3 times week 2 ideally I’ve lost all my scalp hair to alopecia but regrowed it just to develop trig and seeing your video was the best thing since my regrowth it’s completely up to ourselves you’re very beautiful for your mind and looks wish I knew u thank you so much for video
I’ve only been struggling with trichotillomania for a few months, but I have already lost a lot of hair. I use bandanas so cover it up at the moment, I am just really worried that it will get worse :(
You are so brave and so strong 💪❤️
if you can try to reduce the pulling try it!! in only gets worse and wouldn’t want anyone else going through that 🥺

And its kill my confident
If your struggling, talk to someone / anyone. I have a therapist and it helps me a lot!
I have been struggling with it for 9 years now. And I shaved my hair 3x. It feels good for 6 months or so but it returns once my hair strands are at “pullable” length. I have it fortunately only with my scalp hair. It started with me not liking my natural hair texture and pattern which I tried to change once I grew up by permanently straightening but nothing helped. My family knows about this and they have already given up. I eat up the follicles now. I am giving up trying slowly. And the people around me thinks I am a freak and it’s all in my hands. Well it is but I can’t help it.
never give up! it’s a constant and long battle trust me. Im sending u all my support and strength towards ur way! You got this! 💕 p.s my dm’s are always open :)
@@syerralariviere that means a lot to me. Stay strong 😊

60 years I’ve been doing it now :(
keep fighting! it’s a constant battle and I feel your pain. I’m always here to reach out too! 🥺
This is a brutal condition. I feel like I was scout my head hurts so bad from pulling. On my second year of this hideous ridiculousness.!! Where did it come from why did it happen!!! What if my hair doesn't grow back 😭
i feel the same way with your pain. some days I feel defeated. don’t give up the fight! also, it can stem from anxiety, ocd and depression.
I,ve been pulling my hair. Plz help me.
talk to someone, anyone! it’s helped me. my dm’s are always open 🤍
@@syerralariviere আপু আপনি কি বাংলা ভাষা জানেন।
@@AliAhmad-qw4iu I don’t know Bengali (I had to translate your comment lol)
I am bangladeshi. I know bangla, I don't know English, I write bangla,then I translated it into English. Sister, please read the whole comment and if you can, please reply. I have told everyone about the problem. But no one is reaching out for help. My family is no longer able to treat me. Because we live in poor families and live in villages. Will have to go town for treatment, and if you want to go to the city, you need a lot of money. And you don't have to go to the city for treatment, there are all kinds of medical expenses, but there is still the cost of living, food, etc. My family can't afford to take me to town for treatment. I don't have any big brothers, we are four sisters. My family survives on my old father's little money. So sister helped me a little sister, if you help a little, maybe a girl's life will be saved. God bless you sister. 🤲
Please sister Reply .
Have You Tried. Fidget items ? To See if they Would Help Keep You’re Hands & Fingers Busy. ? I have Trich. Too
