Spence,
I suffer from something that is very similar to what you are going through. I pull out my eyebrows. The act of hair pulling is called trichtillomania. I believe it is connected with a from of OCD. I have been told by past T's that I would have to go to a behaviorist in order to stop pulling because, at least for me, it is fueled by lots of anxiety. Unfortunately now I cannot stop.
On the positive side with some people Prozac has been shown to help stop/control the behavior. It did not work for me, but if you have a T then maybe you could talk to he/she about it.

Stay strong,
Jessica
