Going To Your Doctor To Seek Help
I hate to admit this, but I have never really sought proper help for my pulling. At the moment, it is manageable on a day to day basis, though it gets better and worse at times. I don’t have any bald patches, just thin patches.
That said, last year I did go to the doctor to get help for something which I keep just as secretive as my hair pulling: social anxiety. In the process I also told someone about my hair pulling. I actually told someone about it!

Weirdly, I sometimes think the busyness stops me pulling, but then sometimes it makes me pull more again. I hope to catch up with comments and emails [...]

Keeping Busy & Pulling Hair
I wish I had more time to update this blog. Some of the comments I get here are really amazing, and they make me so glad that I started this blog back in 2008. I seem to get more and more visitors all the time and if it can help people know they’re not alone [...]
