                                              Hi! My name is Marga and I am from America. Well, I was born there. I am half filipino! But I have a problem.. I suffer from a condition called Trichotillomania.. 
I have had this disorder since I was 6. I have multiple bald spots in my hair and I am also missing some eyelashes. The only other people who know about this is my family. I'm too afraid to let people know about my condition. For me, it's incredibly embarrassing! Everyone else has such beautiful, thick, shiny hair while I have ugly hair. I'm very insecure about it but I can't do anything about it!
Oh! And one more thing. You are probably gonna just tell me to stop pulling my hair. But I cant stop. It's super stressful when I don't pull it. Sometimes, I don't even realise that I'm plucking my hair. Anyway, I'll write soon.
