I've dealt with Trichotillomania/Trichophagia for 12 well 13 years now. I've been in and out of therapy all my life , but no help with this or my other mental issues that overlap trich. I used my tweezers two hours ago and made a new bald spot. I usually don't care and ignore it so I can get through my day. But, the hairs I did eat is giving me a horrible stomach ache because I put in some peppermint oil,castor oil and aloe in my hair . I feel ok now after a lot of water . But , I just feel so alone with this and everything else. I'm usually used to it by now but this sucks and advice would be great. Until I can afford 50.00-100.00 for therapy again . I'm having digestion issues as well for months . I've been avoid it due to money but I'll probably get it checked out soon. I just wonder if my stomach issues are related to my trichophagia in anyway. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
