A cure for my hair pulling #trichotillomania #ocd #anxiety #anxietyrelief #mentalhealth #unique

I still manage to pick my eyelashes even with fake nails on.

I have a small bald spot. I dont pull the hair just a scab that keeps forming there but i still have no hair there now. When i get acrylic nails done i stop lol.

I feel this, but I'm the opposite, I cut my nails as short as possible to help

That will be the start of being mindful of when you are pulling. But it is not the cure. Fake nails did help me for sure though but you will eventually adapt to them and be able to pull with them. I dont know if there is a cure but I have not pulled in many years..am I cured? I dont think so. Most of it is done without awareness and I have broken that. The intentional pulling is still a struggle but it takes mindfullness. Some things that helped me were the fake nails, or keeping my nails super short, have one pair of tweesers( so you dont make a gap for one problem hair ), occupy yourself when you are stressed, put on gloves, or sit on your hands.

I always want those types of nails and that would help me, but I play softball so I can’t.

do you have any tips to stop picking because I pick too but I have been able to manage but I do it like once 2 weeks and I pick only one lash so I do controll but some tips would be useful<3

Some tips for ppl who have the skin picking disorder, cut your nails super short(to the point where it’s about to bleed) and you will find that it is next to impossible to rlly scratch your head. Also the slight pain from your short nails will distract you from the urge. Can’t believe I discovered this after I got rid of the habit

Just curious, no hate at all, but may I ask, why are 2 fingers shorter than others? Just asking no hate ❤❤

I’ve been pulling for years and nothing is helping. My parents won’t help me even tho it’s getting worse, we tried counseling but it’s just automatic atp not caused by stress. There’s a medicine that can help but idk if I should risk asking someone to help me or not.

Fake nails help so much with picking imo

For a second I thought it was to cut ur fingers off coz she's missing one 😅
