Hello all;

For years, I've been twisting and pulling my hair on and off from a young age; (about 10 years old) up until recently it has become worse and now I'm starting to develop bald patches above my forehead. My mum has suggested that I go and get my haircut at the barbers but this might make a blad patch more noticeable because the hair above my forehead has become much thinner and if it gets cut, there could be a large bald patch that is noticeable amongst others.

I looked up trichotillomania recently and I'm quite certain that I match some of the symptoms, and I want to overcome this issue before it gets even more serious than it is.

What can be done to help stop this bad habit? What kind of techniques are out there? Who can I speak to?

Many thanks

Liam
