Since her early teens, Cara Ward has suffered from trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) and dermatillomania (skin picking), two forms of mental illness that are still often hidden away in shame. Feeling embarrassed and confused by her own behaviour, Cara kept quiet about it for years. But in June 2013, she was left housebound by a condition called Red Skin Syndrome. The only way to get better was a harrowing and difficult withdrawal from all topical steroids. Despite her anxiety and doubt about whether she was doing the right thing, she kept going and made a full recovery. As a result, she knew that she could "beat her own mind" and overcome anything else she put her mind to. And so, over a period of just seven weeks, Cara documented her struggles to gain better control of the disorders that had left her scarred and ashamed for years. Through sheer determination and willpower, Cara found a way to get to the best place she'd ever been with her trichotillomania. Every Trich in the Book details Cara's triumph over trich and derma, using humour and honesty along the way.
Cara Ward is a writer from London who suffered from eczema for most her young life. It became severe in her teens and in her twenties, only seemed to be getting worse, until she found the answer that changed her life. She had developed red skin syndrome (RSS), a condition brought on by the use of topical steroids that were prescribed to treat her eczema, and the only way for her to get better was to stop using them completely. She has since made a full recovery and is now an advocate for the relatively unknown condition which affects thousands of people worldwide. From the age of twelve, Cara also suffered from trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) and dermatillomania (skin picking), but after her recovery from RSS, she decided to do something about it. In October 2016, she started a diary documenting her journey and over the course of seven weeks, learned how to manage her compulsions. She then went on to self-publish the diary under the name My Date with a Razor before it was republished in September 2018 with Trigger titled Every Trich in the Book.
