hi Lissa i just wanted to thank you for your story. my daughter was diagnosed with trich about 6 months ago and has been pulling her hair for about 3 years. I began to do research and read other peoples stories on the subject to learn as much as possible. My daughter is not yet comfortable talking to any body other then myself about her diagnosis so i try to educate her and give her all the info. that i find. she is on medication and doing alot better since she told me about her problem. me dealing with not knowing what she was going through for so long is a different story and i am dealing with that and doing research on how people go to the extreme of hiding this disorder. I think about all the people who have it and are struggling to hide it and how i can help. thanks again for your article i just wanted you to know it does help and reached someone.
