I Have Trichotillomania

this episode i am in has lasted for over 2 hours.
i have a really important test in a day and i have't properly STARTED studying yet. I keep thinking that it's over and i force my hand to stop. a minute later and my scalp feels weird and my hand goes back up.
i keep imagining myself bald and oh my i really don't want that. My lap is filled with my hair.
if my mom sees this she will be furious. she will scream and shout and say things she shouldn't.
I need to find a place to hide them.
I think it's over for now.

Hair pulling disorder.

@Chrintelle: Really? Doesn't it, like, hurt?

@CookiePounder: probably, but if you run your fingers in your hair while pulling very very softly the hair will also fall out. Some parts. Of the scalp are also less sensitive to pulling.

@Chrintelle: I've scratched my head til it started bleeding, but that's a different story. So, is that caused by stress or something?

@CookiePounder: ive also scratched holes in my hear when I was younger. I guess stress can be a factor.

@Chrintelle: Holes? That's hardcore.
