In a way, I am glad that no one really knows about this site because this is the one and only picture of me without a wig. This is me two years after shaving my head. Thankfully wearing the wig most of the day time has reduced my pulling because I can't physically get at it. But as you can see the permanent damage is obvious enough that even if I did manage to grow my hair longer, I would still have to either wear a wig or go to some other cover up measure. I have tears in my eyes looking at this picture. That isn't me. That is someone that is sad because they don't know what to do. I want to feel confident and feminine. I am not saying girls with shaved heads are not feminine, in fact, if I didn't have Trich and just chose to have shaved hair then I would wear it with pride. But that isn't the case and you can see I am bald on top. I don't want this anymore. I want to why this this started 17 years ago. Why it's still going on now and what can be done. I want to talk to other people that understand and share these feelings. So if you see this, please please contact me. I need you, we need each other.
