How does TTM affect me?

This is one of the most candid posts I have ever written. Especially with the picture above. The red dots on my eyebrows are scabs, from my tweezers. I find the tiniest eyebrows growing and dig until I get them out or give up. If I have to give up, I'm agitated and uncomfortable all day or until the hair comes out. TTM is like that, an impulse-control disorder. The reason my eyes look weird is because I have no eyelashes. I have almost pulled them bald again. I made so much progress then I backslide. Right now, I wear bangs, it helps to hide my condition. i also normally wear make up, heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow. I have had TTM since I was 11. I just hope someday this blog reaches people like me who want hope and support.

After surgery, I am recommitting myself to recovery from TTM (surgery for my hip). I will not let this disorder ruin my face.
