Struggling like this

[farmanParticipant]

I’m struggling with trichotillomania like never before. I feel so much anger about myself. And it’s so hard cause people don’t know anything about it, especially as it[s so disturbing. I have intrusive thoughts and am scared how my body is reacting to them. And today I wasn’t able to complete my usual rituals, cause this is normally my way of coping with how bad this makes me feel. Now I feel, like my identity has been destroyed by this condition. Can I self referr to a therapist if there’s a service near me?
