Trich and I

Trich has been with me for a very long time—about 9 years. Trich is always there, no matter the time no matter the place. In class, in the library, at the movies— Trich is there, constantly tormenting me. I’m so ashamed of being seen in public with Trich, but Trich will not leave me alone. Trich is not an annoying individual, but I wish it was. Instead, Trich is short for Trichotillomania a disorder I unfortunately have. I pull the hair from my scalp and I can’t stop. Today, I realize I’ve done nothing wrong and need to stop being ashamed of Trich. It’s the first step, and hopefully someday soon I won’t be seeing Trich anymore.
