Trichotillomania

(trik-o-til-o-MAY-ne-uh)

came across this term in my Abnormal Psychology textbook
am utterly shocked,
there really is a disorder I’m suffering from =(

  • irresistible urge to pull out hair from your scalp, or other areas of your body.
  • a.k.a. hair-pulling disorder, trich or pulling
  • Reasoning: bothered by hair that's a particular texture or color and ends up playing with pulled-out hair after.
  • Sometimes aware, sometimes unconsciously.
  • usually when in stressful or idle mood

this really is not something Im proud of
its something that really affects me without realisation
(at least most times..hehe)
and it really is quite embarassing..sigh

note to self: must stop pulling hair out! =P
