How To Find a Trichotillomania Support Group Online – You’re Not Alone!

February 22, 2018 By: Lesley

Would you like to find a Trichotillomania Support Group Online, these sort of support groups have been very supportive and encouraging for me. There are a few different places online where you can find a forum for trichotillomania. Facebook, Daily Strength Dot Org and the Trichotillomania Learning Foundation (TLC) all have online support.

Where To Find Trichotillomania Support Group Online

When I first found out that my hair pulling disorder was actually experienced by others, the first thing I wanted to do was find someone to talk to about it.

Not a therapist or a doctor, but an actual person who had it.

I knew I probably wouldn’t have much luck locally finding someone so I checked online.

There are a couple of places to find a trichotillomania support group online that I know of:

  1. Facebook
  2. DailyStrength.org
  3. TLC

(as I find more, I’ll add to them to the list later)


Facebook Trichotillomania Support Group Online

The first place that I went was to Facebook and began looking for communities with people who had trichotillomania.

I’m already pretty well versed in Facebook and I knew that these sorts of groups probably existed because there’s a dang Facebook group for EVERYTHING (seriously, everything).

To find TTM support groups on Facebook, you simply need to go to Facebook and type in the keyword into the search bar ..

Finding a Trichotillomania Support Group Online was probably one of the best things I could have done for my recovery. Being in a forum with other people who have a hair pulling disorder has been very educating. There are different online support group places like Facebook, Daily Strength and Even Yahoo. The Trichotillomania Learning Foundation runs a variety of online support groups for children, teenagers and adults. You can find links to those here.

You’ll see a lot of things pop up, hit enter for an entire list of things on Facebook.

Once everything pops up (it may look slightly different), select the groups tab.

I am a part of a trichotillomania support group online and it's been uber helpful in my recovery. There is a trichotillomania forum for children, teens and adults. It's like having a trichotillomania chat room to share with others who get you.

There are a lot of different communities and not all of them suited my personality type.

I had to hang around and see which ones seem to fit me best.

I like some of the smaller communities myself but there are some really big ones too. (list below)

If you are looking for a BFRB support group, I think Facebook has a lot of great options to pick from.

Last year I created my own Facebook group with a woman named Mai Mai, she’s been trich-free 12+ years. I had met her in another group and we instantly made a connection.

Online Support Communities On Facebook

  • Overcoming Trichotillomania (Grace-centered group, everyone is welcome)
  • Tricky Picky Parenting (Support Group for PARENTS) 👪
  • Trichotillomania Support Group Worldwide
  • Trichotillomania (this one is the biggest one on Facebook)
  • Trichotillomania Support

Hanging out in these groups really helped me because I was able to see that I wasn’t alone and that other people had the same struggle.

It was in these groups that I learned about a lot of the trichotillomania products that have helped me over the last year.

I will warn you that there can be some negative things that go on in some of the groups because you’re dealing with hurting people.

If I could give one piece of advice before joining these groups it’s to remember you are not anyone else.  Their situation is not a reflection on yours or the outcome you will experience.

I went into these groups with the attitude of … “I’m here to learn, encourage and move forward.”

There are some great conversations that take place, interesting products and articles that are shared and a large community of very loving people who all want to belong.

For the most part, I love Facebook communities and they have been an huge help in overcoming trichotillomania.


Daily Strength Trichotillomania Support Group Online

DailyStrength.org has been around forever..

I found them doing some organic searches on the internet.

They have different communities for support and they have specific ones for Trichotillomania.

As you can see from the list below, there’s also a skin picking support group too.

A lot of our BFRB’s go hand-in-hand (that’s pun-ny).

I like Facebook better because I get more interaction and faster responses, almost like a chat room but this is a cool forum too.

To look for trichotillomania support online at DailyStrength, you simply type the keyword into the search bar.

You will need an account there, just like Facebook.

This a trichotillomania forum on Daily Strength. It's like a trichotillomania chat room for peope with hair pulling disorders. There is a bfrb support group hair pulling and a skin picking support group too. These online support group fourms are nice because it's like having a chat room for trichsters like me. There is a forum for my hair pulling disorder where I can discuss trichotillomania with other people who relate.


TLC’s BFRB Online Support Groups

TLC (Trichotillomania Learning Foundation for BFRB’s) is has their own online support groups and most of them are on Yahoo groups.

These groups are moderated by TLC, they are the leader in trichotillomania support without a doubt.

They have different online support group options on their website.

TLC -Trichotillomania Learning Foundation has a forum for online support too. They run a couple different group types on Yahoo for children, adults, teenagers and parents of kids with trich. I've found online support like this to be very helpful. The Trichotillomania Foundation has online group to help people with TTM. Being a part of BFRB support group helps me feel not alone. Having a trichotillomania forum where I can share and help encourage others has been a big part of my own recovery.

A lot of TLC support groups are hosted on Yahoo’s group platform (although there are others too).

TLC has trichotillomania online support groups for parents, teens and adults.

There’s a ton of resources on their website along with the support group options.

If you’re a parent, definitely hook up with TLC, they’ve got the best resources.

As I find more online support groups for trichotillomania, I’ll keep updating this list, but right now I think these are the best options available.

If you know of anymore online support groups for trichotillomania, please drop me a comment and a link.
