Originale


No. I found a partner later in life because trich had knocked my self-confidence so much that I was convinced men would not be interested in a bald me with this 'craziness', so didn't even date. Now that I am in a stable, long-term relationship, it can still be difficult to help my partner understand that I'm not trying to be sneaky or hiding underlying emotional issues with this disorder. This has caused for trust to take longer to build. I also find it hard to completely open up to him when I feel an urge to pull because he just doesn't understand. All this said, my partner is the number 1 reason why my trich is so under control now. He has been a lifesaver in this regard.
