How do I stop pulling out my hair?
So I'm a 17 year old girl, and my hair is pretty long and thick so I'm not worried about going bald or anything...but I've noticed that I pull out my hair a lot. I pick at my split ends and I'll also brush my fingers through and pull the loser strands out, but lately I've noticed that I also pull the not-so-loose pieces as well. By the time I'm done there will be a pile of hair next to me. It's really crazy.. I'll do this in school and home and pretty much everywhere else.
I always just thought it was a bad habit, but I'm starting to think that maybe it's a nervous habit. I have a lot of anxiety and stress, so maybe that has something to do with it? Any opinions or advice on how to stop would be helpful.

it could be a mild case of trichotillomania, i have it to and have had it for 6 years now and it comes and goes i have it bad when I'm nervous or stressed out, i have a few bald spots but you can only see them if you looks really really close and i still have a lot of hair but just try your hardest not to pull your hair! when u feel an urge too try and do something else like squeeze a stress ball or play with your fingers or something and with time it will get better and better
