This might be a form of OCD, and it's pretty common. It might be beyond self-control, but treatment is available.
Where would I be able to get this treatment at?
Sounds like OCD you also might be under alot of stress but instead of pulling ur hair out u should find a better outlet like boxing (which is great) or working out...anything u like to do that relieves stress. Just try it if u really want to stop u will
Its called Trichotillomania. Its an impulse control disorder
i saw a show about a girl who did that and it was cuz of her OCD she was almost bald.. need a special ocd therapist or something would be best... but i dont get it how do u pull out your hair? like a piece at a time or whole chunks cuz i wouldnt think thats possible :S owww

Try a psychologist - a behaviour therapist. There must be a registry of psychologists in your area.
