This is a genuine medical condition known as trichotillomania. Trichotillomania is an Impulse Control Disorder characterized by the repeated pulling out of one's own hair or eyelashes and eyebrows. It can be treated and there are a number of on line help/support groups. See your family doctor for referral to a psychologist if you don't have any luck with a web search - it sounds like you have tried your best on your own and to avoid permanent hair loss it would be useful to seek professional help.

You may want to stop though I know it's not that simple. It takes a lot of self control. Try thinking about other things or do exercises when you get those kinds of feelings. God's word says your body is a temple and that you should honor God with your body(1 Corithians 6:18). this may be the reason you feel so dirty after the act. Pray for stength and just keep buisy with other things to occupy your mind :)

The disorder is trichotillomania.  I have a family member with this disorder, she's had it since she was a child.  When her stress level gets too high for her to handle the disorder takes over and she pulls out most of the hair on the front of her scalp.\nThere are treatments for this disorder, if you have the disorder do some homework before you decide on a treatment option.

I would start off by saying, maybe its not your hair at all. maybe that person have a problem with you. this person maybe jealous of your hairstyle. so If I were you, I wouldn't listen to her, and if everyone has a problem with your hair tell them to all give you some money to get it done.

that does happen to me. I hate that it does, but it does! I want to get to a place where I am totally happy all by myself...but I have yet to reach that point. I had a bf break up with me right before finals last spring, and it just screwed up all my studying and final projects because I was so miserable!\nI tend to try to distract myself in situations like that, and studying isnt a good way for me. perhaps you are the same?

Are you nervous?? I used to do that whenever I was anxious or nervous about something. I would catch myself doing it and eventually I stopped. You just have to make a conscious effort not to do it.

you really do need to see a doctor because this is an illness. i saw on 60 minutes a while back this same subject. the women were miserable because they couldnt stop plucking their hairs, they had huge bald spots on their heads due to this illness.  please see a doctor and let him direct you to someone who can help you.  i dont think you are going to be able to quit on your own. good luck. i wish you the best.

Hi honey,\nI've been there where you are. You really need to talk to someone - a friend or family member or a doctor about what's going on, both in terms of what you're doing and your feelings that are leading you to do this in the first place. Sometimes when you're cutting you can cut deeper than you intended to, especially if you're really angry and get carried away. Please don't go there because the consequences can be awful. At best you'll be scarred for life and at worst it doesn't bear thinking about. \nI don't know what it is that's making you feel down now - sometimes just being a teenager can be really stressful. But do remember that even if things feel bleak at the moment you have got your whole life ahead of you and lots of potentially happy times to come.\nSometimes getting out and doing some exercise is good to relieve tension - so maybe try swimming or tennis, whatever you like to do. Also I've found that a healthy diet can also help - I know it sounds boring but cutting down on sugary or junk food and increasing fish and fresh fruit and veg in your diet.\nWhen you feel like cutting - try and distract yourself or do something nice for yourself. Sometimes calling a friend can just make you snap out of that mood. Remind yourself of all your good points. If this doesn't work then some people say crushing ice in your hands can create the same sensation but is not dangerous.\n Sometimes when you might feel like cutting its because you feel frustrated that you're not perfect in someway - but remember nobody is and we all have the right to live on this earth and look for happiness and don't deserve to be damaged.\n Take Care

it sounds like maybe you have performance anxiety, like maybe you're afraid of doing the work so your body kicks in so you don't have to. this happens to me, too. i think i'm afraid of being judged. is there a counselor you could talk to about this? could be something like ADD, too, or just an inability to concentrate. good luck.

WOW.  thanks lieselot h for puking that up from the web.  Perhaps next time you could include a dissertation or the entire encyclopedia.\n\nFirst, how do you know your hair problems are from dieting?  It would take a pretty radical diet to induce problems with hair growth, so my guess is that it may not be your diet that is the problem.  Many people experience some hair loss that is normal (up to 100 hair strands per day).  As long as you do not have bald spots, this may not necessarily be problematic.  You should give more information or see a dermatologist.

Sounds like you are having anxiety issues.  Talk to your doctor about it. I know you may think its not that big of a deal but the disorder can get worse with time if its not treated.  I knew a girl that started out that way and did not get treated.  She ended up chewing on her hand it got so bad.  She had to have it bandaged and is permanently scarred from it.  She also started picking her face all the time and that left scars too.

It seems like long hair is a favorite with males.\nMyself,  it kind of goes with the color and the cut or style of the hair.  \nsome style of cut looks sexy and seductive while other long thin stringy hair does not.  \nCare, pampering, and of course, no split ends,  will make all lengths of hair more appealing.\nAs far as using the hair to pull,  isn't that what ears are for. "jokes"

You have what I call the "even syndrome".  You want everything to be even or straight.  I'm kind of like that.  I have a terrible time with my hair to be even.  It's just a bit of OCD, I think.  Don't let it control you.

Well, there can be a lot of reasons. If you process your hair by dying or perming, you can be overprocessing it and it can be getting so damaged that it is breaking off and coming out. Time for a deep conditioner.\n\nYou could be getting older and it is just genetics starting to work on you.\n\nYou could have a disease that is stressing your body and causing your hair to fall out - or from not getting the right nourishment.\n\nYou could also loose your hair from stress - stress can affect the body in lots of ways. If it is coming out in clumps, maybe you should go see a doctor.
