Pulled out all my hair again

Is like a tic I get sometimes. Sometimes when I’m nervous but other times I am feeling normal when I initiate this behaviour.

I swear I am barely aware I am doing it. The number of times I just zone out then the next thing I know I have kinda woke up to find a handful of hair.

Hair pulling is notoriously hard to treat. Lucky I am a guy and can easily shave my head. Girls have it harder if they pull hair from their head. Often they need wigs. Personally I pull out pubic hair.

I have gotten skin infections countless times and have to see my gp about ointments. Used to be really ashamed of myself, now I don’t give a ■■■■.

This will hopefully go away once all the meds kick in once again.

welcome to the club… I haven’t had a hair cut since I got schizophrenia… and my hair never grows… always at the same level… at one point, one side of my head wasn’t growing - could see faint bold patches lol… only started growing after some guys tried bashing my head in.

I used to go to quran school with a guy who had this trichotillomania. He used to pick out his hair so much he had to wear a hat to stop the temptation. Just another thing to make you look crazy to the neurotypicals I guess.
