Mental Illness and Barbara: Trichotillomania

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Panic Disorder. When I started publicly sharing my experiences, I learned that it helped people identify their own struggles and gave them courage to seek help. My goal with this series is to give people hope through the stories of others and help them realize they are not alone. You are not weird or broken, and your mental illness does not have to define you. Let’s eliminate the stigma surrounding the mental health conversation by sharing our experiences and learning ways to heal.
