VID ON SEX/TRICH: ... Hello! TW FOR SELF HARM between 7:46-8:40 and potentially this paragraph.. I dont tend to put trigger warnings on my Trichotillomania content as this whole channel is dedicated to the subject, but I felt that section could catch people off guard. Dermatillomania/Trichotillomania often collide together, so I hope this was okay. I also deliberately avoided imagery in this - as again, due to the blood, it could trigger self harm (not to mention be blocked by the YouTube sensors and then it wont help all the people its intended to!) I dont want my gory pubic area photos/videos taken out of their context. Thank you for respecting my privacy on this one :).\r

I couldnt ask for peoples comments/advice in the groups due to whats being happening (or access previous discussions Ive had in the community which were SO HELPFUL as a teenager) - so I just went for it unaided and hope its okay! Thank you to the few commenters on Twitter, I truly appreciated your comments :D. If you have any tips/comments to help others - please comment below. I feel I didnt give that much advice, because not much has helped me. I understand that others may have more advice :D.\r

I will be monitoring the comments below, so if your comment takes time to show up, dont worry! I just want to protect myself and any other pubic pullers reading away! The community in my comment sections are incredible, but some of my videos are often seen out of their context - its best to be prepared! :D.\r

As I said, there is a difference between personal grooming and grooming to the point of bleeding/causing harm, mental health problems and additionally, physical long term damage. If you are someone who feels that you are experiencing Trichotillomania (in any format), dont fight alone. Reach out to your Doctor or seek help from sources such as - they can offer some support.\r

My lack of ivity in the Trichotillomania community/facebook groups has been brought on by a handful of bullies in power, who targeted me in January. Ive been unable to access support/friends/followers and communicate in safe spaces for Trich as a result. You may have noticed my lack of ivity and please know that its not my choice. Others are controlling my life and trying to hurt it infront of thousands. Please know that I do care about this community, awareness and others but due to these people and what they are doing to me, Im struggling to feel a part of the community right now. as I cant even see it. Every day Im on my own in a way that I hope no one else has to endure.\r

The only places of support I have in the world are my YouTube channel and my Twitter - so Im more dependent here than I have ever been before. I want to say a huge thank you for your support, comments and love over the years and especially since the start of the year. For many of us, there is no support in the offline world at all for our Trich/self harm/dermatillomania.. and the internet is our window to help. You guys are helping me through. Remember, that no one has the right to take support away from you, no matter who they think they are, how close they were to you, or what power they have over you now. If youre being bullied by others, be strong - you deserve to live your life too.\r

Ive been looking into setting up a forum for Trich or at least a FaceBook group where discrimination and bullying is not allowed. Would anyone be interested? Trichers need to support other Trichers and all Trichers are valid in my books. A safe and supportive network is what we need. xxx
