I have not been aware of Flickr for that long, but a few days I realised there was a trichotillomania group. I know how difficult it is to look at photographs of myself with bald patches, which is why I think it is inspirational that people post their own photos online. It is a great way of helping people to understand this condition.
Here are a few photographs from the group:

My name's Penny, and I started OnTrich (a trichotillomania blog) to try and raise awareness about hair pulling, and also as a way to help me deal with my own pulling. I'm a 23 year old girl from the UK and I've been pulling for 13 years. Get in touch if you want to chat or need any help - I love meeting people here.
Hm… you just made me realise that sometimes I’ll pull out some eye lashes. But I do it when my eyes are itchy and instead of rubbing it (because I’m wearing make up or something) I’ll pull at my eye lashes instead and sometimes some come out and sometimes nothing comes out. I don’t do it to pull out the eye-lashes…. or is that still the same? LOL
I pull out my eye lashes too!
My mom got really worried because before my midterms I got so stressed that i pulled out every one of my eye lashes. So she got me fake eye lashes and i havent gone a day without wearing them
