Have you ever considered talking to a therapist about it? Learning about trich can really shed some light on the subject and can really help you formulate a plan to overcome it. I believe that no matter what is afflicting us here in this community, that knowledge of what we are experiencing gives us the wisdom to confront and beat it....keep us posted!
I am a Trich success story.. I use to pull out my hair from the time I was about 13 until a few months ago. I am 20 years old now. I cant exactly explain how I did but I can tell you a few things that helped me out. I had to get my self to the point where I was 'fighting' the urge to pull. I use to get tingling sensations, escpecially when I was feeling emtional about something or I had something on my mind. The biggest thing that helped me out was when I started tying my hair up all the time. I had to get to the point where even if I wanted to pull there was no way for me to pull because I had my head covered up. I have stopped now and my hair has grown tremendously with no bald spots. Everynow and then I get the urge to pull but its ALOT less than before. You can seek help but personally I think that its a self disipline thing. I was tired of doing that too myself and tired of having low self esteem behind it. You can do it but it will take hard work and discipline.
