My friend told me he pulled his hair out and ate it when he was stressed. I have never heard of anybody doing that before.
Trichophagia it is called. Part of a impulse control disorder found within the Trichotillomania.
Get this person to get help. New research about this disorder is that N- Acetyl C- Cystine is an amino acid that helps people control these impulses.
Other impulse control disorders we hear about are Kleptomania, Pyromania, and Gambling Addiction.
Trichotillomania Learning Center on the web is a good place to start learning more.
it actually a condition called trichotillomania. I have it also, but not to the extent that i consume it. Theres lots of information about it on the internet, however eating hair is extreemly dangerous. It is extreemly difficult to stop however as i think it is also a form of OCD (obsessive compulsive dissorder) so try to help them and support them in any way you can.
ehh id be worried about him frankly.... :/ thts not cool wat is he a cat? lol
Correct; you cannot digest hair. There was a case of a woman with a gigantic hairball in her stomach; no one figured it out until post-mortem. But, she had very long hair. Even with short hair, it's still not safe. I'd casually mention to your friend to knock it off.
I don't think you can digest hair. Can you? So it's probably fucking up her instestines or some shit.
