Do you pull from more than one area?:
Yes
If yes, where?:
Everywhere but my arms. My scalp being the most common and the most obvious.
What is the longest you have been pull free?:
5 days
Do you recognize your triggers?:
No. I know that stress and worry contributes but it is also totally random.
Are your friends/family supportive?:
Most people try to be but there are plenty that are not supportive.
Has your GP (if you have spoken to one) offered you any help?:
My current GP has been great and offers to do whatever he can to help, although this is still very limited.
Have you taken medication for Trich, and if so, have you had positive results?:
I have taken Citalopram and each time it works differently, overall though, no it hasn't helped.
Do you eat/chew the follicles from hairs you have pulled?:
Yes
What are you thinking whilst you are pulling?:
Usually a combination of telling myself that I must stop and concentrating on finding that hair.
Do you think there is enough support available to you?:
I don't. I think that often, if you want/need any help at all then you need to search bloody hard for it!
