Trichster Profile

It's official. Trichsters do more than just pull out hair. It seems there is a trichster profile which describes the average person with trichotillomania. Do you fit this profile?
Complete the survey after you've read this topic, and let us know.
From our research, it seems that trichsters procrastinate. They don't tidy up when they first hear about the relatives visiting ... they frantically begin cleaning an hour before the visitors are due. We leave studying to the last minute and find exams stressful.
We blame ourselves for things which cannot possibly be our fault.
We suppress our emotional pain and do not confide easily in others. On the whole, we find it difficult to get close to people, thinking people will discover what we're really like and hate us like so many of us hate ourselves.
We are sensitive and understanding, great at giving advice and lousy at taking it.
We don't grieve easily and find it difficult to get in total touch with our pain at times of bereavement and loss.
Most of us were invalidated as children and now seek validation of our own thoughts and feelings from others. We invalidate our own decisions and think we can't cope even when we can. Some of us have poor self-discipline and over 50% of us have an eating disorder.
We may have poor short term memory.
We're good people with apparently positive outlooks, but inside we're often very depressed. Others think we cope admirably but inside we're terrified.
Does this sound like you?
We want to know!
Please complete the Profile Questionnaire to the right of this article and help us add to our research.
Thank you Folks!

(User Info | Send a Message) | Theres always something new in this site.This new survey,well,got me thinking.Everything apart from 'not grieving easily' is correct ,for me.
I was surprised to read 50% have an eating disorder.I have some sort of eating disorder but Im not sure what it is.Im not anorexic nor bulimic,I just dont eat,not enough anyway.I see it as being the only thing I can control.I suppose I punish myself by starving myself.I get constant dizzy spells and I feel completely unhealthy.My body is so messed up now that it seems to have learnt to cope with it...I know thats bull because Im damaging myself.
How do I ever expect to have children when Im so tangled up.My body must be screaming No thy shall not conceive you have no strength to cope. |

(User Info | Send a Message | Journal) | I have to admit the profle is pretty accurate. I had a happy childhood and don't have an eating disorder (although i dont eat alot so i don't put on weight) but apart from that it sounds like me. I felt like the local agony aunt when i was at school. Not that i minded but i was always better at solving other peoples problems than my own. I think i'm getting better now though.
Wishing you all love and luck

(User Info | Send a Message | Journal) | | I don't even know if you check this very long after the fact. I was wondering if you think that self mutilation is also a part of the profile for trich. For example the one year that I didn't pull my hair, I cut myself with saftey pins. Any thoughts? |

by Anonymous on Thursday, June 24 @ 19:25:16 BST | 1. Procrastination
Sometimes. Depends. Worse if tired or disillusioned.
2. Exams
Don't relate to this - generally I have been very disciplined in my study for exams, though found it more difficult since I started confronting my trich/emotional problems.
3. Blaming self ...
yes, I relate to that
4. Difficulty getting close
not really ... sometimes ... depends ... prone to self-hatred at times though
5. Difficulty grieving
generally do not have this
6. Invalidated as a child
I relate to that 110% ... that's what I'm struggling with
7. Poor self-discipline
Of late yes ... but my self-discipline has been excellent over the years
8. Eating disorder
no problems there
9. Apparently positive outlook
Yes, I seem very confident to others. Few realise that I am not really like that at all.
10. Others think we cope admirably
Also true.
In sum: some of it resonates hugely, but not all of it. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | I'M CRYING! THIS IS ME! IT'S LIKE SOMEBODY HAS BEEN WATCHING ME THROUGH A WINDOW. OTHER THAN ANY CHILDHOOD PROBLEMS, EVERYTHING ELSE HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD! ON THE OUTSIDE, I AM VERY OUTGOING AND PERSONABLE, EVERYBODY AROUND ME THINKS I'M ROCK SOLID, HOWEVER, I'M DYING ON THE INSIDE, QUIETLY CRYING MYSELF TO SLEEP. SO.....HOW DO WE OVERCOME THIS? I KNOW, IF IT WAS THAT EASY WE WOULD ALL BE CURED. SCARY, BUT ACCURATE. |

my comments were deleted (Score: 0)
by Anonymous on Sunday, April 24 @ 04:46:08 BST | I was very happy to find this site last week, but since I had my comments removed, I have lost some respect. My comments were that I was a trichster who did not fit the profile seen above, and that I thought the profile stated described behaviours which might CAUSE anxiety and hence the intensity of trich. Perhaps this truth interferes with the simplistic myth making whereby all readers say "OH THAT'S JUST LIKE ME!" and have a false sense of affinity with the others.
OK that's the last you'll hear from me on this subject. I'll still visit this site, but I'll be reading it with a grain of salt.
Regards,
a Unique trichster |
