Hair cut that will help me grow back after Trichotillomania problems
I am a 20 year old female. I have an oval face, but I'm overweight, so my face is actually between oval and round (definately more oval shaped though!) I used to suffer from Trichotillomania, but with a lot of hard work, I have stopped pulling. My hair is utterly damaged. Very thin on the left side. I want to cut my hair to a length that will allow healthy hair to emerge, but I'm super afraid of trying any kind of haircut above my ears. I usually get a bob cut, so I have thought about allowing my stylist to cut it shorter than usual. What are your thoughts? I do have dreams of having beautiful, long, healthy hair, but I know that this takes time.

I would definitely allow your hair to grow out. Unless the hair you have is damaged, I don't see a reason to cut it. Since your hair is so thin on the left side, try a style that parts on the right - this will allow you to push your hair over to the left, making up for the hair missing on that side :)
Also, take vitamins (folic acid and iron help. both are found in a regular multivitamin w/ iron) and deep condition regularly. You can deep condition with regular conditioner if you don't want to buy a new product - just leave it on for a few minutes while you shower.
Good luck!

I don't know what to tell you about cutting your hair, but I can recommend something that will help your hair grow back. When my grandmother was taking chemotheraphy medication a lot of her hair fell out. She said something to her doctor about it and her doctor told her to try taking folic acid. You can buy folic acid at your local super-market, it's in the vitamin section. (It's not expensive and you just swallow a capsule every day.) Since she started taking it on a regular basis her hair is starting to grow back in a lot of the bald spots.
