Question:
I have been suffering from trichotillomania for years. Can anyone help?
Along with some other mental problems, I am suffering from trichotillomania. Though many of my problems (all relating to severe anxiety) have been cured or at least subdued to some degree, I still cannot stop pulling out my hair when overstressed. I'm willing to try something new...any suggestions?
Answers:
I'd suggest talking to your doctor first about a medication, and I'd also ensure I had a nice short hairstyle.
Have you tried carrying around something (like a stress ball) to hold in your hand? Wrapping up balls of yarn?
The primal scream in the pillow is also a nice one, anything that's not mind boggling and that requires you to really focus your energy would be an alternative.
