rufusmoo Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yeh I totally do! Hair pulling is called trichotillomania. Ive done this since I was 10. I have loads of nasty and embarrasing habits sorrounding it. I even eat it- There is a condition for skin picking- I can't remember what it is now. My legs and arms are covered in a scabs and scars where Ive been obsessively picking. It's all linked to anxiety and so called 'self soothing'. It can get out of hand though. Some of the things that I do relating to picking and hair pulling are prtty OTT and obsessive but I just can't stop-it's soothing. A psychologist once told me it was an 'immature' child like way of self soothing. Hmmm yes thanks for that?!!?! Anyway you not alone xx -LOL can't pick hair underwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
