[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 441023, member: 77"] Well, Mattsmom, that is fascinating, and wonderful how you dealt with it with your easy child. When I went to that support group, the girl who started it told us that her husband plucked his eyelashes too, so they both had trich. Do you know, it's not only actually pulling out the hair that is trich. If you look around you, you will see a lot of people who obsessively touch their hair, taking hold of a strand and stroking it, or something like that. I often see women drivers at traffic lights who do that, or women on the bus. That is also a part of trich. For people who pull it out, apparently it is the tension of knowing you are going to pull out a hair and that it will hurt, and then doing it and releasing the tension. Yes, I think it is related to cutting and self-harm. I understand that there is some sort of medication for releasing the tension. I think it is also related to depression. Oh well, too much to think about there. Fascinating topic (for me). Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
