Hi all

So I thought I'd get input from people in the know. I feel pretty ridiculous about the whole thing....

I think it was about 3 weeks ago that I realized it feels really, really good to pull out my hairs and play with them between my fingers. I started out only pulling out kinky/coarse hairs (damaged from color/bleach). I searched my head until finding a suitable hair and got all excited and pulled it out, played with it until I got tired of that hair and went to search for a "better" hair to play with. I'd do this until my arms got too tired to continue. Maybe 20-30 hairs at a time? I'd say average 5-10 times a day...

I ran out of frizzy hairs but I keep looking. I started plucking less-ideal (not as rough/coarse texture) hairs but it doesn't "work" right and it's frustrating.

I also find myself pulling them without noticing (well, other people notice and bring it to my attention).

And when I think about how "stress relieving/exciting" it was to find a perfect frizzy hair and pull it, I can't seem to help going searching again.

So. I've always been a nail biter/skin picker but these seem to be habits not compulsions....someone who has trich can you tell me what this sounds like to you?

Thanks.
