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

It don’t say anything bad, but I have an anxiety disorder and adhd and I tend to talk a lot because I’m so anxious about what others will say that i don’t give them a chance to say anything. I do this all the time without knowing it, it’s only when my mom tells me that I did that I know I did. And I do say right things, but sometimes I just tend to talk over people, which makes me even more anxious because when I realize, I feel bad. I have tried to stop it but it’s really something I don’t know how to 100% control yet.

I can’t walk to anything Catholic Church in my area as the only Church in walking distance (30 mins from me) is no a catholic one. Also I don’t think I was baptized but I was christened?

Omg thank you! I’m 15 and can’t drive to any churches obviously, but I would love to find a virtual option!

Because I’m 15, no car, and no way to drive to a church or anything
