Question by Joe Blob: I have a very odd habit..it is freaky help me please..?
Okay. I have an habit that you all will think is disgusting/freaky, etc. but PLEASE HELP ME!! I have had this problem for probably..4 years? I am 14 years old, and here is my problem. I pull out single strands of my hair throughout the day without doing it on purpose, just when I am bored/stressed I suppose….PLEASE help me stop this habbit! When I first started doing this, I can’t remember. I want to stop this habit! It is making me go bald in certain areas! I recently have been pulling the left side burn area, and it is becoming very thin there. When I first started, it was at the baby spot, and people used to laugh and tell me”Your going bald”..then it was toward the front of my head, then back, now side..I randomly pull them in certain areas most of the time, but I don’t want to go bald! HELP!!!
i’m a guy..

shave your head completely?
What do you think? Answer below!
Put your hair in a ponytail if long and put a wrist band or wtvr you would like around your wrist and mess with that instead. OR put gel on your hair and you will notice because of the stickyness and stop.
There is a form of OCD called Trichotillomania….its not that odd or uncommon. You should talk to your parents about seeing a Dr
It’s not unheard of – it’s called Trichotillomania. It’s an impulse control disorder and will probably have some underlying cause, like stress. I know “go see a Doctor” is a fairly useless answer but hopefully giving you some links with info about it will show you you’re not alone in this, and you’re not a freak. If you seek help then the doc can help determine why you have this impulse, and they can help you stop. Good luck with it man
