The last few weeks have been bad for pulling my hair. I have been stressed, and as many trichsters know – stress means pulling.
I find my arm constantly up on my head, stroking my hair and waiting to find hairs to pull out.
Stress is definitely a factor in trichotillomania at times, but not always. I think the problem is especially that the stress recently has made me feel tired, which will also lead me to pull. But in truth I do not usually see my trichotillomania as something caused by stress, more just a sort of ‘habit’ or ‘urge’.
Anyway, it has been bad. I have no idea how many hairs I pulled out. I know that my hair is thin around my crown, but luckily I have enough hair to stop it showing for now.
PS. Today is remembrance day. Please see my post at my personal blog, Marmalade Skies.
