hair pulling
8 Comments

i have this thing where when i'm nervous i pull my hair out. i only pull out one hair at a time but after a while it accumulates and now i have to wear a hair piece. i also eat the hairs after i pull them out. i don't know why i do this but it's hard to stop.
Do you think it's normal?

What you're describing is a condition called Trichotillomania which is a condition where a person habitually pulls their hair. My nephew suffers from it.

There's a lot of information on the net about this. Try starting with a Google Search - "Hair Pulling" and that should point you in the right direction.

Alternatively, you could try your country's National Health Service Website.

Good Luck.

Eww, you're gross! No, but seriously this is called trichotillomania and it's an actual mental disorder. You're so weird!

MTV: True Life, there was an episode with this on it, it's actually a form of self harming, you should tell a doctor, get help.
