OnTrich is Over One Year Old!
by mspennylane on 16. Aug, 2009 in Trich in the Media
I didn’t even notice it pass by, but OnTrich has had its on year anniversary! I never knew how this would turn out when I first started writing. I had hoped other people would come forward with their stories. At first it was slow, but then I started to realise just how many trichsters are out and about online, and how they all have similar, yet different, stories to tell.

I don’t know about you, but I think trichotillomania is a kind of horrible word. I’ve gotten used to it, but when I really think about it, it’s not nice at all!

I thought it might be useful for me to round up trichotillomania news and blog posts every once in a while. It is always important to keep an eye on what others are writing as there is always more to learn. I will try and include a post of this nature every fortnight to highlight [...]
Last Day of National Trichotillomania Awareness Week
by mspennylane on 08. Oct, 2008 in Trich in the Media
I hope that many trichotillomania sufferers were able to benefit from the trichotillomania awareness week, or those who don’t suffer were able to learn something new.

Trichotillomania is one of those things that people don’t understand. Because of this, it can be very hard to deal with when you realise you have the condition. You may not even realise that it is a condition, and never have heard of that scary word ‘trichotillomania’ before. That is why it is so important [...]
