Not sure if this is the right place to post. I did try to look, but maybe I am still wrong in where I am posting, so I do apologise if that's the case
Okay. Now that that's out of the way, what I want to discuss now:
I have been pulling my hair since I was in little. It started with my eyelashes, then my hair
I've been trying to be better about it over time, but I cannot stop it. Anxious or not, I catch myself pulling hair. Anxiety can worsen the severity of it, or for example, I may notice I'm doing it and want to stop, but stress from wanting to stop will actually worsen it...but even if I am perfectly content, I will still do it.
I have most often heard it related to either self harm or an OCD BFBR disorder, but just recently heard this could be a form of stimming. I'm not sure what it is for me. I don't think the little kid who started pulling her eyelashes out was self harming though.
Has anyone else experienced this/ Or does anyone have any advice to stop? I recently got a fidget toy, and I like it a lot but this pulling action and the urge to do it, is not satisfied when I fidget with this twisty fidget
