Trichotillomania?!
Question:
Trichotillomania?
i've had trichotillomania since the age of 12 yrs old. i've tried a self help book to stop. i've tried ying-yang relaxing balls to keep my hands busy, wearing a bandana, wearing gloves, having my nails done, etc. i am still not able to stop and it is very embarrasing to me. anyone out there with any advice?
Answers:
Hey, try something else to do with keeping your hands busy, like knitting or making greeting cards :) i rekn learning an instrument could also be useful as you are keeping your hands busy and relaxing through music therapy ... something like piana, guitar or a brass/wind instrument .... I would recommend harp but is really hard to find a tutor for. Also try keeping a diary, that way you reaslise sub-conschiously when you are doing it, and eventually whaen you really find it embarrassing, your sub-conschious mind will start easing you off it .... Keep the faith up sweetheart, you'll get through it when you believe you really can ;)
