Trichotillomania?

Question

Does anyone else on here have this? I've never even met someone online with it, I've got no one to relate with

Answer

I would say I have a mild form. I could spend HOURS picking through my hair but only actually pull it out on occasion. Mostly when I find a hair that feels more damaged I'll immediately pull it. There have been days when I'm extra stressed I notice I pull out more than I normally would

Answer

it's a nervous habit just like biting your nails...I did it when I was young both but I don't do either now...

Answer

I personally don't have it but my younger brother does . He currently has NO eyelashes or eyebrows because he can't seem to stop plucking them .

Answer

I used to in high school. I went and got help

Answer

I had it when i was younger and still have it a little bit. Now I just go through where I'll just pick the ends of my hair or just break the ends off or even just pull it out. I have hella breakage. But i use to be almost bald on the back of my head because of it. Luckily i dont do it as bad and it isnt a very severe case. Unfortunately most of the time I don't even realize im doing it.

Answer

Yep! I pluck about 2-3 hours a day. All facial hair, chin/lip/eyebrows.
