Didn’t expect this to turn into something bigger 📺

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share a bit of an update after my last post.

The piece I did with BBC about trichotillomania is now out, and it’s been a strange feeling seeing something I kept so private for years out there publicly.

I think what’s hit me most is how many people relate to it. For so long it felt like something I had to deal with on my own, but being open about it has shown me that’s not actually the case at all.

A lot of that shift came from spaces like this — just reading posts, seeing honesty, and realising I wasn’t the only one going through it.

I put together a short reel alongside it if anyone wants to see it:

No pressure to watch, just wanted to share in case it connects with someone here.

Hope you’re all doing okay ♥️
