@Mrcino 1408 Usually it is at night when I cannot get to sleep, I have really bad insomnia.

I have struggled with hair pulling since I was 13-14 years old and Iām 27 now. I go through periods where itās really bad and periods where Iām barely doing it. Iāve noticed that itās affected a lot by how my life is going. The only thing that typically helps when Iām in a time where Iām pulling a lot is to just pull my hair all the way back into a ponytail or Bobby pins if itās too short and itās a reminder not to pull whenever I reach up to do it.

Iām also suffering with this! Iāve been doing it since I was 18 years old and Iām now 26 years old. Iāve also played with my hair but Iāve never took it to the extent I have the past 8 years. My hair is so short and different lengths as well as super thin. I use to have long thick hair. Iāve dealt with a lot of trauma in my life that I think has caused this but Iām not sure. But Iām here for advice! I hope you found what helped you to stop š«¶š»

pulling hair
does anyone else struggle with this? specifically it is my eyebrows! i get a thought that one hair feels weird, and iāll pull it out, but then i canāt stop because it triggers me to think another one feels weird. now, i barely have any hairs on either eyebrows. i keep trying to grow them back but it feels impossible to stop pulling the hairs sometimes. iām excited to talk to my nocd therapist about this so i can start to regrow my eyebrows and not have this compulsion affect me so much!

Tips appreciated:)
Hi everyone. <3 was wondering if anyone with experience dealing with excoriation/skin-picking disorder has some tips or tricks that have particularly helped them. Came to NOCD this week for help - first timer that would really like to be able to wear a tank top again š š« I did join the BFRB support group but unfortunately will be on a night shift this week when it meets . Thank you in advance ā¤ļø
