I usually start off by feeling my hair...strand by strand. If I don't like how the strand feels...I pull it out,inspect it,run it through my mouth,bite off the root, and eat it. Am I the only one out there? IIN?
omg i thought i was the only one!! i know what you mean! you don't eat the WHOLE HAIR you just eat the little white root! i do this!
:o Wow. I've never seen the show. Okay..i don't feel so alone...because they said 7 million people lol. BUT...i don't do it as much as that woman did. Thank goodness. Still got a full head of hair...and no bald spots. :D I'm working on it! Thanks for the link :)
No, you are definitely not the only one out there. What you are doing has a name. It's called "trichotillomania".
why ya gotta do taht. dang nasty but no blamin'. ya prolly had too much of them chick-fil-hairs.
Auwtch..Doesn't it hurt?
Is there a reason why you do this?
I don't think it's a healty habit.
No...I honestly dont eve feel it. Thats why i dont realize when doing it. I know its not healthy (some people end up with hairballs in their stomach). I don't do it that much...and i usually catch myself after i pull out afew strands. I'm really trying to stop...dont wanna be bald .
That's not good you know :s
Ever tried help or medication for your problem?
No. I've never sought any help for it. Its pretty embarrassing. But i found trich.org! Trichotillomania Learning Center( for hair pulling information, support and resources)! I think i'll try to find help this time...its becoming a distraction. They list behavior therapy as a treatment. I'll probably look into that. :D
