Bottom of the ninth

Okay. (Deep breath). You guys have inspired me to say something that is really scary for me. It's kind of my secret.

Some say if you tell others your secrets and you no longer have anything to hide it can help in the healing.

I pull my hair out. 1 strand at a time. It's a anxiety/ compulsive disorder called tricitillimania. The anti depressents I take have helped with depression but I Am still pulling.

My hair looks fairly normal to friends and neighbors but I always need to brush or style it to cover up the bald spots. I hate going to the salon because they always ask questions about the bald spots.

My xh and family and close friends know about this disorder and it's something I am ashamed of but I can't stop.

Phew. It's out there now
