My mom thinks I can control is, and keeps telling me that I can. But I can't, she doesn't understand. I keep getting bald spots under my bangs, and towards the top roots of my hair. I honestly want to control it, but I don't know what to do... someone? I’m 14 years old, and I have started really getting bad with pulling my hair out.

Everytime my hand reaches for my hair, I stop and think to myself what it would be like to not have to hide the bald spots on my head eveyday, and to be able to wear my hair however I want. Now the hair that grew in from the bald spots are getting longer. It worked for me! I hope it will work for you guys! :) I found out a way to make myself stop puloing out my hair.

When she died I started pulling mine out. I was really embarrassed going to school.. My hairstyle was horrible. I then stopped out of school. I am 20 years old and have been pulling my hair out since 7th grade. I recently shaved my head and now I wear wigs. That way I can feel beautiful... But it doesn't help. I just recently came out and started telling people about it. Some people don't understand. My parents don't understand. Its hard to deal with. I just want to quit it....

I would like to know if it means they wont grow any more? am i going to bald for the rest of my life?is there any chance of my hair growing back again if stopped pulling them out or have my hair follicles already been too damaged? hi

I still pull out my hair but not to the degree of my teens and 20's when i had bald patches and half eyebrows. Now i just continually touch my hair, single out strands, and occassionally pull a strand out. Its embarrassing and frustrating, i have hated this disorder ever since it started. I had troubled teen years and still today i am very anxious. I am a perfectionist, very successful in any job I take on but live a very sad and detatched life. I wish i had gone to a doctor 30 years ago and got help as now its all too late - i am approaching 50 and say to everyone - well i have had enough now, i am tired I am ready to finish my life. Thats so pathetic i know and selfish but i feel like i have lived my whole life inside myself so whats the difference. To all you young girls - please get help - dont do it alone, go to a professional for help and guidance so you dont end up like me I am now 48 years old and have just recently heard that the problem i have suffered with for nearly 40 years has a name!

I started pulling out my hair when I was 9 or 10,and I am 12 now. I started at my hairline, but luckly I can hide it by parting my hair to the side, but on windy days I get worried. Then about a year ago I started pulling on the side of my hair, above my ear, but that is easier to hide. My parents know I"m doing it because there is more hair around the house now. I always thought I was the only one doing this, but now that I've found this website I don't feel alone. Thanks! Hi. I started pulling out my hair when I was 9 or 10,and I am 12 now.
