New Year, Same You
Every year Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, etc., flood with the slogan "New Year, New Me." People plan for their new self with healthy recipes, following exercise accounts, and making a new Instagram for their health transformation. Working hard to create new beneficial habits is admirable and wise; as long as it's approached in a healthy way, it's more than good.

Trichotillomania and Me (Pt. 2)
The first article in the series is available here. Please read it before continuing. As I finished middle school and started high school, my trich went through a roller coaster of ups and downs. Sometimes, I didn't pull much at all. Sometimes, I couldn't stop and would pull out substantial sections at a time. I recall one family gathering where I cleared out a section the size of a dime in less than an hour and a half. Despite my times of self-restraint (or lack of interest in pulling), my hair and eyelashes never came back full strength; I never stopped enough to make a real difference.

Trichotillomania and Me (Pt. 1)
I remember the first time I pulled out a hair. I was 10 years old, and my mother and I were reading books on the couch. I was surprised by the way the root looked: cylindrical and white except for the black dot on the very end. My mom told me to stop. I ignored her.
