I have been doing this for years and it is driving me insane. I do not pull out clumps. I started because I saw my mom pulling her hair when I was bout 10 and asked her about it and she told me she was just pulling split ends out. I became fascinated with spilt ends and sometimes that is why I pull. But mostly I pull at night when I am tired and I don't even realize I am doing it. I enjoy the "snap" of pulling the hair and then pulling apart the hair by the split ends. I have ADHD and take meds and find I do this mostly when my meds have worn off for the evening. I am thinking about trying hypnosis. Has anyone had success with kicking this habit? My hair has always been thin and I can see the toll it is taking on my hair lately, but I don't pull out clumps or anything, so other people can't notice. But I am worried as I age and my already slow hair growth continues to decline that it will become very noticeable soon. I welcome any suggestions or ideas. Thank you.
