Dear fellow trichster,
I am 24. For so long I would postpone things. I did not want to get married because I was afraid of my pictures. I was also determined to show all my friends and family that I could stop and look beautiful again.
But then I realized that my life was passing me by. I totally sympathise about the hate, resentment, and frustration. It is easy for people to say "we love you anyway" or "it doesn't bother me that you have this problem".
What they don't understand is that it is not just the physical crap, but the emotional roller coaster, and time consuming, energy sucker. I can spend what seems to be 1 or 2 minutes pulling and find out that an hour, or way more, has gone by.
I guess that the best thing to do is to focus on what we love and enjoy, and try to treat Trich as a part of us, instead of happening to us. The reason I say this is to be able to move on with more enjoyable and happier things in life.
Best of luck to you. I truly feel for you because I am there too.
Kristine
