i pull out my hair ? pleeeease help ?!

Okay, I HAVE exactly what you have and I have been doing it for EIGHT years. It is called Trichotillomania, and it a disorder related to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. This is not simply a bad habit..

The simple answer is to not pull out a single hair. If you can resist the urge to be completely pull-free, your hair will grow back and you will be fine. Otherwise, there is no one way to stop hair pulling that simply. The longest I've been pull-free has been a couple months. It's exhausting though, having this disorder, so I honestly hope you can resolve your pulling. Really just try and not pull. Tire your arms and hands out before you can pull a lot. Try to active so you don't pull. When I do weights and/or a cardio workout like running I am less likely to pull.

If you find it harder to stop pulling out your hair you can check out my website I recently started to help people who pull out their hair: http://www.trichotillomaniac.com/ Here I explain ways to stop pulling more thoroughly.

I've been a trichotillomaniac for eight years.

When you concentrate on your study or on the Computer put your hair up with elastics and hair pins and spray some hairspray on it.
Do this for a few months and you may have stopped your bad habit for good.

Pull it out enough to make it look like his

But seriously, use a stress ball and keep your hand busy with that, instead of pulling out your hair.

It is classified under Impulse Control Disorders 312.39 in the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual IV-Revised, but also view 300.3 about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, although it may well be a distinction without a difference, at least for the purposes of the treatments I recommend. It usually occurs as a result of anxiety, or stress, and may be considered as a type of coping, or avoiding mechanism. View http://your-mental-health.weebly.com/1.h… about OCD, anxiety, and stress, then pages f, i, and m; see the SJW, & HYPERICUM websites on page b about St. John's Wort, (preferably use a German variety; local ones may vary in efficacy - take with a meal; it usually takes at least 2, and up to 6 weeks, to begin reaching maximum effectiveness) which is believed to act by increasing the availability of the neurotransmitters; serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, moderately, rather than selectively giving the serotonin levels of the brain a large boost, as with antidepressants. Jarsin, Perika, and Kira brands have been recommended. S.J.W. may reduce your vitamin D3 levels; most people are deficient in it. See http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articl… Check out: http://www.foodforthebrain.org/content.a… and Google: "anxiety; 5-htp" articles. Also consider trying inositol - (it's actually one of the B group vitamins, so you could also combine it with the wort, and possibly a low dosage of 5-htp [no more than 50mg daily] http://westsuffolkpsych.homestead.com/in… ) Use a form of occupational therapy, to keep your mind busy. Another suggestion, for when you catch yourself doing this. Carry a wide rubber band in your pocket: put it on your wrist; stretch, and release, as a means of reinforcing it, and speeding up the process, re-pocketing it afterwards, but I regard this as being purely optional.

Cut your hair very short, and wear a wig for a while; then you would only be pulling the wig, while your hair regrows, and you unlearn the habit. Trichotillomania is a habit, which can be unlearned, preferably by replacing it with another, such as worry beads, or a stress ball, EFT*, etc. This may take 30 - 40 repetitions, to establish. Wear a bandanna to sleep, and put band aids on your finger & thumb. Practice a relaxation method, daily, and when needed, such as http://www.drcoxconsulting.com/managing-… or http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/mindbody… or http://www.wikihow.com/Meditate Yoga Nidra, (a series of easy mental exercises only; no flexibility required) on page L, at Weebly. Tai Chi, regular yoga, or Qi Gong, suits others better. Give the EFT a good tryout, to see if it helps you. It is free via the searchbar at www.mercola.com "EFT" & "EFT therapists" - There is a version for use in public places, (if you want to, you can claim to have a headache, as you massage/lightly tap your temples, but you would then be restricted to subvocalising: saying it to yourself in your mind: "Even though I pull my hair/eyelashes out, I deeply and completely accept myself". The acupressure technique can also be used to replace the hair pulling, (and there is a variation for use in public places, for which you can reasonably claim to have a headache) so give it a good tryout. Professional EFT is always preferable. Try to find a therapist who uses Habit Reversal Training. Google: "Clinical psychologists; (your city); (your state)" Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of suggestibility, in which you are better able to communicate with your subconscious mind. 85% of people are suggestible to some degree; 15% - 20% highly so, and 15% - 20% aren't much at all, so you could either preferably seek professional hypnotherapy, or, if not an option, hypnosisdownloads.com has some via their searchbar about hair or eyelash pulling, and controlling impulses.

lots of people *play* with their hair. it's very normal. you're a bit extreme but that's okay, too.

if you space out and don't realize what you're doing... you need to focus on grounding rituals that will keep you "in the hair and now" lol

i think most people zone in / zone out ... it's a sort of disconnect from one thing / connect to another. try not to be too alarmed. really, it's normal. but the remedy IS in finding a method to ground yourself. when you're able to do that, you'll be enabled to have better control over what you will and will not to do with your hair... in the here and now.

maybe you like the sensation and maybe the sensation IS your grounding method / ritual. do you like to wear hats or headbands? try it. see how it makes you feel. maybe its not an issue with your hair but your hands. ever use a worry stone? it gives a great sense of security; something to hold on to and something to keep your hands busy. oh, last thing... don't try to figure it out. try to FEEL it out.
