Can trichophagia kill you or make you sick?
Post Body

I'm kinda worried because I'm having a lot of health issues due to my trichophagia and I don't know anyone that has this issue most of my friends even my bf a long time ago used to joke about it now I just shave my head often but I still eat my hair it's only about a inch in length and I just shave it all off too keep me from eating too much. Lately well for at least 6 to 7 months I have been having diarrhea almost every day and end up sometimes puking while I'm shitting . I can't keep any food down for a long time without feeling like I need to defecate. I feel too embarrassed to admit it to health professionals or my mom really. I do not have my small intensities due to being born premature and having a lot of surgeries around my stomach area I have a huge scar and I get random pains sometimes . But I feel so nauseous right now I tried to smoke some weed but now I feel even more sick I did eat some hair today so I feel that's why. But the stomach pain is so bad. I really dont want to miss my first day at a new job and I feel like the anxiety is just making it worse . So, I am going to go to bed I hope by 8:00 am tomorrow I'll feel better if not I'll have to ask to start on Thursday instead . Sadly I only have 25 dollars in my bank account so I wouldn't be able to afford to see a doctor even if I needed I could only call the doctor and ask for advice on what I can take over the counter. I hope it just passes so I can go to work .

Edit : Hopefully it's just a bug but I'm sure my mom could take off work to take me in to the doctor's if I say it's serious enough. But I'll probably be fine it normally passes . Maybe my body is having trouble just digesting the hair . But I also need to mention I haven't been eating as much as I would typically would. I just feel like it's due to other mental health issues but I also wonder if this is causing a lack of appetite as well?
