Do You Ever Think It Could Be Easy to Stop Pulling Out Hair?

Do You Ever Think It Could Be Easy to Stop Pulling Out Hair?

Sometimes I honestly do think that it could be so easy to stop pulling out my hair. Why? Because I just don’t have any urge to do it. Sometimes days could go by and I barely even think about it – until I stop to notice that I haven’t pulled at all lately.
