[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 441027, member: 4264"] Fascinating for me too Esther. From the research I've read I've been under the impression that people with trich don't normally self harm in other ways such as cutting etc. I'll have to investigate that again, just for pure curiousity. On the other hand, I don't approve of my easy child's dad telling her upon first hearing her come to him to tell him what was happening to her, that it will lead to cutting if she's not careful etc. She was so freaked out hearing that and it turns out she hid it from me for days after that because she was afraid I'd think she was going to hurt herself in a dangerous way when the thought had never crossed her mind. Her dad knew about my trich from when we were together so I found it odd he wouldn't either read and refresh his knowledge or call me and discuss it and at the least, let me know she'd come to him and told him she was doing this (neither of us knew until she came to us, I'm so grateful she always does come to us!). Anyhow, for now all is well with her and her eyelashes and I'm crossing fingers it stays that way. i do notice others often touching their hair etc. Totally unrelated to trich but a different form of anxiety based repetitive actions, S/O chews on the inside of his cheek beside his mouth. Sometimes until its raw. He's been working to stop it while I'm stopping with my hair. He never noticed he was doing it so much until he started comparing it to my hair issues, and the light bulb went off that he was doing it in response to anxiety he didn't even know he was experiencing. The mind guides us to all kinds of methods of anxiety relief doesn't it? [/QUOTE]
