I've been pulling out my own hair for 20 years now. This is something I"m completely ashamed of.
Mostly, I don't realise I"m doing it until it's too late, and by then I'm horrified by what I've done. Hence the name change.
The rest of my life is great. I did have a fairly traumatic experience when I was younger, which I don't want to get into as it's quite indentifying, but I wonder if that has caused this.
Anyway...I've been 'pull free' for 2 days now, and wondering if anyone else wants to join me in trying to stop this? Or even just offer some moral support. I can't tell anyone in RL, although they obviously know something is wrong.
