Magazine article

My hair story has been published! November's 2010 issue of Psychologies Magazine. It's weird seeing myself in a magazine! :) I have told a few people but I'm not going to advertise it too much as there are still people who don't know I have trich! My main concern is always work people. I guess I'm worried that they will think I'm weird!

    Hi Maggie! I just came across your blog and I am so impressed that you got an article published about trichotillomania. I searched Psychologies magazine but I couldn't find your article. Is there a link online? I live in the US so I can't buy the magazine. Good luck!

    Hello, thank you for the lovely comment and for searching for my article, what a shame that you missed it! It isn't online either, but I will scan it and post it up here instead! :)

Documentary

I have just had a telephone conversation with a lady who is making a documentary about Trich (she calls it TTM). She is working closely with Lucinda Ellery and I emailed her to let her know that I would be happy to speak to her over the phone about the condition. I wanted her to know that there are other salons out there. My worry is that people will think that Lucinda's is the only option when it isn't. The trouble with her place is the cost :( She is going to call again on Wednesday as it was only a brief chat today. She wanted to know what treatments I had tried, how old I was etc. the usual stuff! It's odd that I don't mind talking about it now, I used to be so scared!! I still need to make my plan for the year! Next weekend I am having the volumiser off and re-alligned. I hate it because I get to see how thin my real hair is!! :/

Fullmore

Image
I have recently been using Fullmore on my head under the volumiser to stop me from pulling my hair. After a few weeks some of the connections fall out that secure my volumiser in place and so I can get to the sides of my head! Fullmore is a coloured hairspray and before I had the volumiser fitted I used to use it to hide the bald patches on the side of my head. It stops people from being able to see your scalp. It is only temporary and washes out with water and if you touch it you get it all over your fingers! This is what helps put me off touching!! You can't really go around with brown stuff all over your hands!! :)

Treatments

Over the last 3 years I have been searching for a cure! I know that I want to stop plucking but I just can't do it on my own. I can sometimes stop for a few days if I concentrate really hard, but I can't stop the urge to want to pull and when I am feeling slightly weak the urge always wins!! Well it has for the last 20 years anyway! Treatments I have tried so far........ Hypnotism Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Prozac & HTP -5 Neuro Linguistic Programming Self Help Books Volumiser NAC supplement - trying now
