hi iv been a long term ocd sufferer and had got transferred to a psychologist in 2006 however that did not do any help for me, it was not until 2010 when i had my son the symptoms lessened and became less obsessive and less socially and mentally hard work. i missed out on education and work as it was so bad and life consuming. after overcoming ocd myself i feel i may have subconsciously replaced my ocd with trichotillomania whenever i get anxious and stressed or struggle to cope. i eventually admitted to myself and family about my hair pulling mainly due to being unable to hide or cover the bald spots. which led me to create a blog and twitter dedicated to helping others with ocd and trichotillomania which has helped me imensely. before the help from others i found it impossible to stop but with help and encouragement from other pullers i managed to stop for over 1 month however iv had relapses but keep motivated to finally accomplish being pullfree its now almost 3 weeks of being pullfree for the 3rd time. i have had this for 2 years now at my worst i had pulled out every single hair from my head. then after it grew back and i relapsed cut it all off which helped me start my pullfree days once again. my reason for contacting you is because im looking at doing something to help either fundraising walk or hike do a personal story which might help others and volunteer for ocd action locally in northumberland area, but i do not know how to go about this and any help will be much appreciated thank you for reading.
