Trichotillomania or Why I Have Removed All The Tweezers From The House. Technically, this also includes trichophagia.
Trichotillomania (TTM), or "trich" as it is commonly known, is an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, beard hair, nose hair, pubic hair, eyebrows or other body hair. It may be distantly related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, with which it shares some similarities. A practice related to TTM is trichophagia, in which hairs are swallowed. In extreme cases, this can lead to the development of a hairball (trichobezoar) in the abdomen, a serious condition in humans (also called Rapunzel syndrome). A trichobezoar can lead to intestinal blockage, which may only be relieved via surgery. Yes, that ball of hair is made from real human hair. My hair, in fact. I am also aware of how gross that is. My defense is that it's a gross disorder. You should have seen my legs when they were covered in oozing scabs from where I'd pulled my hair out. If you would like to see a close up of the lovely hair ball you can [link] . |

How you love to find your tongue in his teeth,
in a struggle to find sacred songs that you keep
wrapped in boxes so tight,
sounding only at night as you sleep.
