How to Tell My Parents About My TTM?

I feel you. It started in my early teens for me and I was always so self conscious. It can be hard. Medication and therapy helped with my anxiety but not the hair pulling. NAC and probiotics (both are supplements you can get from Walmart or Amazon) are the most commonly successful treatments I've heard of. Probiotics help for me, I don't pull as much. And if I take a LOT of probiotics, the urges just go away.

Is it your hopes to get treatment from telling them? I think the best way to do it is to bring up that you have always pulled your eyelashes and suggest going to a doctor or therapist in order to treat the disorder. I’ve found that parents in this generation tend to be scared off or confused by the actual names of disorders, so I would not bring up the word TTM when telling them about it. An alternative would to be wear fake lashes.
