Birth control stopped my trich
Hopefully this is the right flair
Hi all, I’m hoping I’m able to help someone overcome trich.
I’ve been suffering with trich for 7-8 years, completely bald on the top of my head. I dropped out of school when I was 15 and became homeschooled, people noticing my bald spots made me skip classes, sit in bathrooms and just cry, I withered away from everyone, my family and friends, I didn’t want to be seen, I had a hard time even looking at myself.
I joined this subreddit not that long ago and have posted in it, being seen by a community of people just like me felt reassuring, I felt seen. I didn’t feel alone anymore.
I started birthcontrol (implanon) in August 2025, the first 2-3 months I did continue to pull, but notice I wasn’t thinking of it as often, by the 3-4 month mark I completely stopped pulling, no urges, no thoughts about it, just stopped. I’ve now been 5 months pull free, my hair has grown back, and I’m able to feel confident again, wearing my hair in all different styles and honestly just feeling amazing.
This may not work for everyone, but it did work for me, and I’m hoping it will help someone else🩷🩷
