Wel, good morning everyone. How is everyone today? I really need to get this big thing out of my system, so skip if you please.

I have a disease called Trichotillomania, but it's Trich for short, I found some info aboout it, so you can skip it, if you please.

[Skip but thank you for understanding, if you do.]

Did you ever wonder why, in my pictures I don't have that many eyebrows or eyelashes? Well, I am studying this disease conntected to OCD. So, if you are wondering this question, here's my answer.

Trichotillomania (TTM) or "trich" is an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, beard hair, nose hair, pubic hair, eyebrows or other body hair. It may be distantly related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, with which it shares some similarities.

Trichotillomania has been mentioned as a disorder in very early historical records. Onset generally occurs at puberty. There is a strong stress-related component, that is, in low-stress environments some stop pulling altogether. Pulling resumes when one leaves this environment.

65% of those afflicted are female.

Evidence is now starting to accumulate pointing to TTM as being genetic in origin.

Stimulant abuse has also been known to cause, or at least trigger episodes of, trichotillomania.

An additional danger is from the low self-esteem which comes from being shunned by peers, and the fear of socializing due to appearance.

Most TTM sufferers live relatively normal lives, except for having bald spots on their head, among their eyelashes, or brows. Eyelashes have been reported to grow back thinner or in much lesser amounts.

While there is no cure for this disease.

[End of skipping]

Well, there you have it. I finally got to tell someone about this. I feel much better. Just don't mak fun of me or I'll happen to kill. So, yeah.

I'm on medication for depression, which I happen to forgot to bring here, so my mom is very angry with me dearly.

I changed the grammer errors on my bios and added some things to it.


Calling all contestants, please read:

I want everyone to know, that I am doing a weekly checkup, so for this weekend, PM me of where you are at in the contest and tell me how much more you need to finish. That's all. I'm just being nosey and making sure everyone is not struggling with this.

That's all.
