I was up till 5am this morning researching as I couldn't sleep. I discovered that the Trichophagia side of my Trichotillomania is rarer than I though. Only 2-20% of Trich sufferers also experience this. That came as a total shock. I thought everyone did that too!
The Trichophagia is the one thing that I never wanted to admit too. I know other people must feel that way. How do you come out and say "I also eat my hair". It just makes you sound more weird doesn't it?
Well it shouldn't. At the end of the day it is something else beyond your control. It is a part of who you are and I am slowly learning that this is something I should not be embarrassed about. I am still me.
