Any tips??

It helps to keep my hair up or braided and I usually do all my pulling in the bathroom, so I try to stay clear of there for too long.

I suffer from trichotillomania.
It means I pull out my own hair, any hair it doesn't matter.
It's mental disorder but it's got to the point it's also a bad habit.

Ohh i have many but I must keep it brief. I do curse too casually and I crack many of my joints as well. I procrastinate too
But what reallly drives my friends crazy is that I'll crack chewing gum while I'm chewing it like a maniac. And I mean I crack it LOUD. But I notice I only do it when it's really quiet in a room and I can't take it and then I just have to...

Ladies i will share tips that helped me reduce my hair pulling:

1) Wear a hat or wrap a scarf around my head.

2) Keeping both my hand busy with something else.

3) Leaving my hair curly (putting gel on my hair rather than straightining it)

4) Rewarding myself if i haven't picked at my hair. (new MAC? chocolate?) hehehe

5) Clipping my hair back.

6) Whenever i feel the urge or whenever i find my hands reach out to my head i quickly grab something else and distract my hands from touching my hair.

7) Always always always have someone around you to tell you to stop picking at your hair. When i'm back home mom is always on the look out for me and so are some of my cousins. Mom slaps my hand (sigh i miss that)

8) Have inspirational pictures of nice healthy hair in mind.

Hope these tips are helpful to you ladies who suffer from this disorder i really feel your pain. I have been trying to grow my hair for the past 2 years but i am constantly ruinning it because i can't stop picking at my hair.
We will kick this disorder in the ass!
It is also a good idea for us girls to set a goal of not picking at our hair and see each others progress, it sounds like a good idea since we can watch out for each other. Let me know if any of you ladies are intrested, because knowing that someone else has the same goal as i do totally motivates me to stop picking at my hair till i stop this bad habit

ugh, I do this too, it's so disgusting. It's worse than smoking because sometimes I don't even realize that I'm doing it, like when I get nervous or anxious.

I'm self destructive, its like a light I can turn it on and off by myself. I have to get my act toghther!

And number 2 is I don't stand up for myself. I don't think you have to put someone else down to feel good. I'm not concerned with people's preception of me. People will pick on the most stupidest things or come up with the most ridiclous stories that have have no truth what so ever to get attention. It is pathetic. I rather have someone come up to me and ask. I don't trip because none of them true = ] Yay, got some, dirt on my shoulder, could you brush it off for me.

I've tried all that. Nothing seems to help me. I can get will power to last about 2 months then I break. Now I'm seeing a psychiatrist to help me.
I have no hair at present, it had to be all shaved off because I'm something like 60% bald.

I wear a wig almost all the time.

The worst part of my Trich is that I ingest the hair.
As a result 2 hairballs formed in my stomach and small intestine.
The one in my small intestine was the size of a tennis ball and the one in my stomach was the length of a grown man's forearm and about 6 inches wide.
Had so much surgery otherwise I would have died.

guh

1). interrupting people when i want to get my point across - i think i have a poor memory and want to get whatever i want to say out before i forget it
2). liking money too much - i make a lot of decisions based on finances, and i know i shouldn't

well i guess i kinda fit my role as a finance major...

My bad habit is SOO wierd. When i was in 6th grade I shaved my eyebrows and they started growing back really coarse and I'd pick at them. 9 years later and I STILL pick at them lol my friends make fun of me for it all the time. I do it subconciously, it's so wierd.
