Lauren @my_trichjourney is a mum of 1 and a trichotillomania warrior who has lived with trichotillomania since she was 7 years old. Lauren’s trichotillomania made her feel like she couldn’t leave the house without wearing eyeliner—fearing that others would notice and think differently of her. After her daughter was born, Lauren found her relationship with trichotillomania starting to shift. She wanted to be the best example for her daughter and with that she found herself leaving the house without makeup and magically—not really caring at all.
