I have never experienced compulsion like trichotillomania, but my best friend does. This article made me cry with understanding and compassion for the rituals we do - consciously or unconsciously - to protect ourselves and to help us make sense of the world. I appreciate you and all that you do, Jessica, thank you for sharing Emily's work!
Thank you for writing so vulnerably and poetically about trichotillomania. I have OCD and the obsessive thought patterns and feelings of shame are similar. 💙
Both beautifully written and gut wrenching. I don't have this illness, gratefully. I find it interesting that the author found so many people in her life with trichotillomania, perhaps it is one symptom of cultural anxiety that is burned into our genetic blueprint.
Wow, this is incredible. I have trichotillomania - reading this was a visceral experience.
Thank you so much for reading. <3

Thanks, Liz! Yeah, I figured, why not go whole hog?
