when you're stressed, do you literally pull your hair out?

    LOL in a way yes. I am a picker! I pick my eyebrows, I pick at my face, shoulders, arms and legs. dry skin really does it! I even pick my scalp and the usual finger nails lol

    My sister picks the skin off her fingers! Disgusting I know, but it's a learnt stress release!

    There is apparently a name for it lol It is MORE than just an expression actually! Some people do pick their hair out or pull it!

    I pull my hair, which at the time doesn't hurt, but have lost some hair doing it. My stress level is so high I am surprised I have any hair at all. I pick! I hate that too. But, I can be doing it and not even realize I am. Stress is horrible. With no meds....I am really crazy! I wish I was stress free...but slim chance of that happening!!

    Oh i know loads of people who actually do that!!! But what's the point?? You're stressed and then you're going to be more stressed because your hair's a mess haha

  • no i just make myself sick when i am too stressed. Maybe i should start pulling out my hair it would be better on my body that way

    Pulling your hair out is a compulsive behavior that is best treated with medication.
