Hair pulling.

2017-12-20 19:48:18
Hi. So for the past few years, I've been pulling out my hair. It happens when I'm not focusing or when I'm purposefully do it. I know I have trichotillomania, but people keep telling me I have to see a doctor and make sure that it IS trichotillomania. It's been really hard for me, and I don't know what to do.
