@Ms.shelovesfrogs In my town we have a system called āHair Clubā I am in the kids version and I have wigs that I wear.
@Bookgirlš I just cover my hair
In what situations do you pull your hair
@Mrcino 1408 Usually it is at night when I cannot get to sleep, I have really bad insomnia.
@Bookgirlš That s ocd telling you to do?
I have struggled with hair pulling since I was 13-14 years old and Iām 27 now. I go through periods where itās really bad and periods where Iām barely doing it. Iāve noticed that itās affected a lot by how my life is going. The only thing that typically helps when Iām in a time where Iām pulling a lot is to just pull my hair all the way back into a ponytail or Bobby pins if itās too short and itās a reminder not to pull whenever I reach up to do it.
Iām also suffering with this! Iāve been doing it since I was 18 years old and Iām now 26 years old. Iāve also played with my hair but Iāve never took it to the extent I have the past 8 years. My hair is so short and different lengths as well as super thin. I use to have long thick hair. Iāve dealt with a lot of trauma in my life that I think has caused this but Iām not sure. But Iām here for advice! I hope you found what helped you to stop š«¶š»
