Is this trichotillomania (compulsive hair-pulling) or just a habit?
As a fellow sufferer – I’d say you do have trichotillomania I, too have the habit or compulsion. You don’t have any bald bits at the moment, but neither did I when I started doing it around the age of 14. You could stay at the level you are at, but may progress to small bald patches , remember we are all different I just keep my hair short, so that I don’t have too much to pull but have to admit , I enjoy pulling it out. You may find that you have times, when you pull out little and times when you pull out lots Off course mention it when you go for your appt, as anxiety is usually related to the condition. EDIT – it’s very reassuring to read the other answers, as I always thought I was alone, in being a tric.
