Life After | TRICHOTILLOMANIA 

I should add, Hannah went on to talk about how she ultimately found a church she loves, and that she realizes that the one situation was isolated, and certainly things like this happen, but not all Churches or members are the same.

What a beautiful story! Please keep them coming Tiffany

You are so brave. You are a powerhouse. I believe your father, as a minister would have never put any child in that position. As a counselor a Christian, and a survivor of abuse, that disgusts me that your mom's church betrayed you and your family! The church can be so messed up and twisted. It's very hard to find good people but they are out there. God never changes and neither does his love even in the darkest times. Bless you and thank you for standing up 💪

I have trichotillomania, came in about the same time as her, but i focus on eyebrows and eyelashes. It's awful. Thank you for highlighting this for awareness. I so appreciate you.

I have been suffering from Tric since I was 12. And TO THIS DAY I still pull my hair out. I am almost 35 years old and this video ✊🏼 hit home for me. I cannot thank you enough for sharing. It’s been one the hardest parts of my life but to know I am NOT alone & to see what it’s done for this beautiful girl ❤️

I LOVE THIS SERIES! 🙌 YES! Keep them coming! So good, Tiffany! Hannah, you are STUNNING! It's amazing what you're doing for others. 💜

You know how to punch the heart & make people cry. ♥️♥️

You are a great interviewer! You ask the right questions and then LET 👏THEM👏 TALK👏. So it is totally about that person. Hope you do more of these:)

I have the same thing.. i even posted a video about it on my RU-vid channel. It's so hard to believe that there are other people out there who have this when you have it. You feel so alone. Very brave to come out and talk about it becuase it def isn't easy to talk about.

I pick the skin around my finger nails. The more stressed I am the worst I do it. You can literately tell how stressed I am by how damaged the skin is around my nails. I don't even know I am doing it till its bleeding and painful. Side note: She has the most beautiful biggest eyes I have ever seen.

My soon to be 13 year old grandson does this. Im always telling him stop picking at your head. He only has the one spot thar he picks at & its when hes watching tv playing a video game. I mean he is totally unaware. Ive had him since he was 10 months old due to both of his parents being on drugs. I am so glad I watched this. I cant beliebe their is an actual name for it. He has been doing this since he was like 4 years old. Thank you so very much for sharing this. You are an amazing strong woman.

My 4 yr old daughter has it due to struggling through the anxiety of visitations with her bio mother when she was in foster care. Initially it was before and after visiting. Over time it became her go to for any situations that cause her discomfort or anxiety. Now she does it unconsciously. Edited to tell you thank you so much for telling your story and giving me an adult perspective into what my adoptive daughter feels when she is pulling. We have talked about it and she's explained the best a 4 yr old can as to why, and what she feels when she's pulling.

She is a breath of fresh air! Her raw honesty is heartbreaking and encouraging. What is light!

This is amazing! You are the best interviewer, Tiffany!

What a warrior, and overcoming all the trauma and helping others 👏🏻 amazing

Ahhhhh I'm crying. That girl that wrapped her arms around you 😭😭😭

I friggen love that you’re doing this! And I’m proud of you’re editing even if your back drop looks like garbage bags! Your interview skills are awesome. You go girlfriend 💁🏻‍♀️

Hannah thanks for sharing your story. Good for you being strong enough to share

I struggle with skin picking, and like her, I have tried everything to stop and nothing has helped. So thankful for this video!

You are so brave to share your story. I have self injury issues (I know this is not self injury) but unfortunately I'm not cured and I'm still struggling with it. I'm in college for my masters in social work. I will recover and help others along the way.

That was great! Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure it could not have been easy for you. Tiffany as always you are amazing! Thank you so much for putting this out there! 🐚

What an amazingly strong woman! Thank you both for sharing her story. You’re most definitely making a difference & touching so many lives Tiffany! Keep being you....simply awesome!! Much love ❤️

My twin sister has Trichotillomania. It started when we were three. I have skin excoriation to the point of scaring :( I started pulling the skin on my lips or biting the inside of my cheek or pulling at my hangnails. No medication has helped. I have to actively make myself stop. Hannah is a very brave woman to be able to share her pain with others. Good for Hannah for helping others who suffer from this.

Please keep doing these! I suffer from an “invisible illness” (fibromyalgia)depression and GAD. It is nice to know that I am not alone in dealing with a plethora of things. I like that these are real and raw and genuine people.

Wow. I have an unbelievably similar story. I've never known anyone who's been through the same struggles and life situations. She's so brave for sharing her story so openly. Thank you for helping me feel like it's not just me.

What an awesome person she is!!! And for you to being awareness and interview her was awesome!

We all need a “Jenn” in our life ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hannah you are AMAZING!!! I know you have struggled and I love that you have turned your struggle into a gift for so many others. You rock!!!! Tiffany, thank you so much for all that you do.

The saddest thing about losing my Dad was watching everyone else also lose him. That surprised me about death.

I’m crying about Jen. What an angel!!!

I cant even tell you how happy I am that you posted this. I pull my hair out too and I've only told one other person (my husband) whose response was "that's disgusting." Of course that was the last time I ever told anyone. I wear my hair down because I pull from the bottom behind my ears. Although I'll probably never seek help (I already tried emdr and other forms of therapy for anxiety) it helps to know I'm not alone or disgusting.

Thanks for bringing awareness To this disorder. Great story.

Thank you for teaching me something new today ♡♡♡

What an amazing story!! Again you delivered Tiffany!! Can't wait for the next one!! 💯💕

thank you. First time hearing of this. #Awareness

This series is awesome.......I would really really love if u could come to north Carolina.....it would b such an honor and privilege to meet u and share our story here

Hannah you're a beautiful soul. Your story has me in tears.

God bless this woman. She is very brave to come forward and speak her truth. It was rough for her, but I am glad to see how she has come out on the other side. She gives me hope, that there is a "life after." Thank you Tiffany for sharing.

My fingers have always looked like penises because I bite my nails so badly. It is beyond subconscious. I cannot stop, I even chew thru No Bite polish. My mom says that I "came out of the womb biting my nails." I relate to her story so much. For me it is a base level of anxiety that I just can't get away from. Thank you for all you do for us in recovery, it means the world. 💖💕💖💕💖

Hannah you are beautiful inside and out. Your story will inspire many who are struggling , I am proud of you❤️. Thank you Tiffany for sharing beautiful life stories to us. You have inspired me and helped me when I have my demons.

That was so good!!😭

I love this!!!!! What an amazing story!!! Thank you for sharing!!

I knew it was jen. Aww wow. Hannah you are so beautiful. I remember thinking so when I first met you when we were young. Wow. What a video to find right now.

Thank you for sharing. This series is so inspiring. You continue to make a difference. ❤️

I wish you did more of these. I have so many things that have been so disheartening to try and get through. I find myself feeling alone and wish I could just disappear. These make me feel less alone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love you & this new series!

I struggle with this too, but have yet to find help. Her story is inspiring. Such a beautiful woman ❤

I just LOVE this series. It's amazing to hear about different walks of life, others struggles and how strong people can truly be. I hope this makes a comeback 🤍

I found Juggling the Jenkins /Tiffany on youtube about 8 months ago. I appreciate the realness of Tiffany as a woman and mother in this f-d up world and her interpretations of the expectations put on women in our society. Thank you for bringing laughter to my soul Tiffany and helping me realize I am not alone in my struggles. I am 50 yrs old and I have suffered Trichotillomania and depression. Thank you so much for all your videos and for bringing awareness about this issue of Trichotillomania. Wow, it's not something that is talked about much, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Wish I could like this video over and over! ❤❤❤

I have suffered with this for so many years. As crazy as this is, mine is my pubic hair. I'm currently seeking medical help for it. Its incredibly embarrassing and hard to ask for help, let alone even type this. Hannah has given me hope ❤

Oh my. Thank you for this. I suffer as does my 12 year old son. However I disagree with her assertion of only being an unconscious habit. It IS a form of self harm as well as an anxiety destressor ... according to our therapist. Could you please investigate and present different sides to this issue? It would help those like me who also struggle

I love this. Keep sharing ♥️♥️ your saving lives every day

Wow, the moment she said her dad passed broke my heart. What a beautiful strong woman. Please keep doing these stories 💜

Yep. I have dermatophagia/dermatillomania where I almost constantly gnaw on my cuticles and fingertips. To the point of not being able to stop even when it's bleeding and super painful. It's an OCD spectrum disorder.

What a great story of never giving up!!

My mom does this. Thank you for sharing your story. Trauma effects us all in different ways. You are so beautiful btw dang

Hannah is the most beautiful, kind-hearted, FANTASTICALLY brave, young woman. Thank you BOTH for sharing your stories with us all. 🖤🖤

Also, thank you Hannah for sharing your story!! I have been following you on IG for years now!

I have Trich as well. I was so stoked to see this video title! I am almost 31 years old. Trich reared it's ugly head when I was about 15, after I was sexually assaulted when I was 14 (which turned into a trial with a guilty verdict, followed by relentless bullying for 4 years as a result). None of my doctors had a clue either. I happened to find this short, little side page article in a magazine about "excessive/compulsive eyebrow plucking" (which happened to be one of the conscious symptoms I experienced) in art class. They used the name Trichotillomania. When I read the description, it felt like finding the piece of the puzzle that had falled under the couch deep inside a dust bunny, and then it clicking into it's place with the other pieces. I swear, it was like an angelic chorus sang, wind blew, and a beam of light shined down. Kinda like when Harry Potter holds his wand for the first time. I showed my doctor the article and she did more research. Today, most psychiatric professionals I've encountered know what it is, so that's extremely encouraging. I'm still struggling to this day, but I've never stopped improving. I have setbacks. Sometimes huge setbacks. I've lost track of how many times I've gotten my hair to grow back to medium/long length, only to have to start all over. It also takes longer and longer to grow back, because it's SO hard on hair follicles... But as of right now, I have about 14-16 inches of growth, a goofy lookin mullet (my hair curls when it's shorter 😅 so it looks like a curly-topped Joe Dirt right now), and finally enough money in my pocket to get it evened up this weekend! 😀 Thank you Tiffany for having her on your show, and thank you Hannah for sharing your story (AND opening a salon specifically for people suffering from hair loss!).❤❤

Does anyone have any info on what salon she owns? I really need to find a salon that specializes in thin hair at least... thanks in advance :) my hair ruins my life, it shouldn’t, but it does.

What an amazing woman!!!! So strong. I would not be able to handle that kind of trauma!

I really appreciate this video! I struggle with trichotillomania as well.

Holy crap, this was powerful. 1. Big ups to this beautiful woman for overcoming. 2. Big ups to Tiffany for bringing her story to the world. 3. What in the bloody hell happened at 19:36? Is your place haunted?!? Wtf, why am I the only one who seems to have noticed that?????

I have this disorder as well. For me it started when I was 9 when my parents got divorced. I've suffered MUCH more traumatic things over the years witch I believe continues my disorder. So on top of having tric, I now have depression (since I was 9. Dr diagnosed.) Anxiety and now ptsd. Ill be honest I cried watching this. Thank you so much for doing this tiffany. Thank you for bringing it to light. Its an embarrassing situation trying to explain to people why you have spots. So much bravory in this video💚💚

You are a beautiful woman. Thank you for sharing your story!

Thank you so much for sharing this story!!

You should do more vids like this

I appreciate this video so so much. I have suffered from trichotillomania since I was very young, mostly on my face and body which then creates sores. I also have dermatillomania which means I pick at my skin and the sores just get worse and worse. Sometimes I will pick at the same spot multiple times a day so it never has time to heal. It makes me so self conscious. Having sores all over. But I can't stop. Anyway thank you for making this and spreading awareness. Love your channel so much. Edited to add that I cried most of this video. It was very beautifully done. And her story is so relatable

I have some condition that I'm not sure about. I pick at my scalp constantly. I make sores on my head and it bleeds. Some of the sores are an inch long. It's awful and I cant stop... I'm not sure what to do.

Tiffany I just wish you knew how much u mean to me.. I bought ur book right when I found you.. you I inspire me daily.. EVERYDAY my bf is like "Really, you spend more time watching her than with " which is true!! You are my main motivation,and of course my children. I'm a working progress. Thank you for everything you do.. for bringing awareness to all sorts of things, and most importantly FOR BEING YOU!!!! Will you PLEASE sign my book if I send it to you?! You have no idea how much that would mean to me?!

I'm in awe... What an amazing, uplifting ending to a young women's life that could have ended much differently. And..... Tiffany, u r fabulous!! 💟

This is wonderful , talking about mental health and knowing there is hope!

Thank you for sharing this amazing journey. I've met a few people who have this condition, when I was working as a hairstylist fulltime. There really needs to be more awareness for this.

Wow!!!!!!! She is beautiful and what a life. God bless that sweet soul. Thank you for sharing. I love what you do 😍🥰

I'm loving these! Can't wait for the next one! I cry when I watch these! What a strong woman she is!! You go Hannah 💪♥️💁

Doctors suck..most..there are some good ones...I am so sorry..god bless JENN..One act of kindness can do a lot. I was homeless and I was panhandling. A lady pulled up and had to be $20. She had the cutest haircut I've ever seen. My ex-husband was a hairdresser and did hair shows with Paul Mitchell. So I've seen cute haircuts. I told her your haircut is so cute where do you get it done. All sudden she starts crying hysterically. And she pulls away. Then she pulls to the side of the road. I didn't know what to think. So I go over and ask her if she's okay. She still crying. She said I got my hair done chemo. She said she beat the cancer in her hair just started growing back. Should all her friends tell her that her hair is cute, but she didn't believe it because they're her friends. Since you don't know me I know it's true. I thought my friends were just trying to be nice........ I'm serious, this was the cutest haircut I've ever seen. It was short. Reminded me are the 1920s flapper girls......

Wow, what a story❤ Also so true what Hannah said at the beginning... one day you'll have your own hollywood set and all you have to do is walk out on it and be your beautiful self❤❤❤ Looking forward to the day my friend😘

Tiffany I absolutely love you! I read your book twice lol. Tomorrow March 7th makes 2 years clean and sober for me😍😍😍

This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. I struggle with this too. It's awesome to know I'm not alone.

Love hearing people's stories. Your videos bring so many joy!

So good to see a video from you! I cant imagine how super busy you must be! Thank you for uploading and taking your time and energy to do so. Very proud of you!

Absolutely one of the best videos I've seen. Awesome...thank you for this.

I love , love the series. Tiffany your videos have helped me as i suffer from anxiety and depression.

LOVED THIS VIDEO! ❤❤❤

Hannah you are absolutely beautiful inside and out. My cousin suffered from trichotillomania in high school and it was so hard for her. She's doing well now and doesn't pull anymore. Tiffany thank you friend for your hard work you continue to suprise and amaze me!!!!

You did have wonderful parents. I remember babysitting all of you. Such LOVE was there.

Wow, so sorry to hear of your loss.

I hope that you, and those that are sharing their stories with you, know how many people y'all are helping by doing this! Y'all are freaking amazing! Love you!

Wow. Never heard of this.

I did this in the 5th grade along with 4 thousand other nervous tics.

My heart sank when you said your dad died at age 8 😭😭😭

Beautiful story Tiff ! Nicely done !

I have watched the first 5 minutes of this and I’m apprehensive about watching the rest. Not “triggery”. More like her story might spark a break through for me. Now to finish the vid.

YAY A NEW EPISODE! ❤️❤️💚💚

My niece has this and it has ruined her life. 😭

You're beautiful!

Wow! That was beautifully done!

Excellent interview
