    • Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      It started when I was 14. I was watching TV in my Mom's room and didn't notice what I was doing until I saw the hairs scattered all over. I started wearing my hair in a bun all the time from age 15-19, when I started covering it with a head scarf. I still wear the scarf now, but I am happy to say that I haven't pulled any hair out at all since February 2008. Instead of focusing on pulling it on, I have been focusing on taking care of it. Whenever I get an urge to pull, I brush my hair instead.

    • Close Breast Cancer

      PetiteTrichster hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      Was diagnosed as "borderline" Bipolar when I was 19. I don't believe in such a thing as "borderline". You either are or you aren't, and I know I am. I get horrible mood swings. Happy one minute, depressed the next. Because I am not suicidal or a threat to anyone or myself, I refuse to take any medications that will alter the chemicals in my brain. Therapy doesn't work for me. Instead, I deal by keeping a journal and listening to music.
