Hello, I've been struggling for over 5 years, but it wasn't until recently that I started getting involved with support groups and seeking treatment. Fidget toys and monitoring my triggers have been very helpful so far. Step 1 for me was to finding out what sensation I look for when pulling and when do I pull. This guided me to find the fidget(s) that were right for me. I found that I often pull when I'm driving so I keep bandaids in my car and wrap my fingers to make it harder and "mute" the sensation. I also like to get cheap pieces of scrap fabric from the fabric store and pull apart the strands when I watch TV or working from home.
