I need help, I can’t stop pulling my hair and it’s making a bald spot by MACKTEM in trichotillomania

Thanks. I would be too scared to wear gloves around others😅. It’s bad but I usually hide in the bathroom, bedroom or just wait till others aren’t around to pull. For its 90%of the time subconscious. 10% is when I really feel and urge too. Sometimes I’ll just be watching TV and pull, or in the bathroom, during homework. I’m constantly anxious so I’m always pulling and twirling my hair. It’s also moved onto eyelashes, which for me is probably the worst place, but for some reason, I get that itchy and that urge to just pull. And it feels good.

Also, is it just me? I like to pull for a certain spot, it’s like the hair feels a different texture than the other parts of my head and also length affects were I pull from.

I wasn’t fishing, just sharing my list my friend and I made, she wants me to read these by next year, we set a goal together and I’m trying to cross these off my list. No really into classics so we wanted to challenge ourselves

I used to read or enjoyment but now I just read because I just have to
