Tricho...

I don't know if anyone else knows about trichotilomania (did I spell that correctly?) But I think I'm seriously suffering from it. I'm constantly pulling my hair from a certain spot on my head & it's getting bald but my hair grows back so fast so I can feel little fuzzies (new hair) I started when I was 18, here and there, I didn't do it all the time but I'm now almost 21 and this is the worst it has gotten. My urges to pull my hair out progressed.. I don't know any ways I can prevent this. It's embarrassing to admit which is why I went all anon..

Anyone knows what I'm talking about or can relate or know someone who seriously suffers from this type of OCD.. I had a traumatic childhood but I blocked it out so good that I don't even think about when I was a child.. I tried socks on my hands when I had the urge but that wasn't a success ... My hair is thick curly and beautiful and I'm just messing it up for myself.
