I have always thought that just one famous person coming out and talking about their own Trichotillomania (There must be lots of celebrities with Trich) would make a huge difference. But I just found one tiny story about someone saying they have no eyelashes at all as they pull them out before they have a chance to grow, etc, and the story was mainly just talking about how 'odd' and 'strange' this person was for doing it. Pretty angry about that to be honest. If fact, whenever there is a story in a paper about Trich, it is belittled and mocked and so it's no wonder people feel embarrassed and ashamed about it!
