hello :)

i can understand that you pulled your hair, when you were trying not to cut. sometimes the anxiety just has to "go" somewhere.

i have had trich for about 20 years (i'm 30...still scares me to write that!) as well as other forms of self harm, including an eating disorder.

i find my hair pulling to cause me more pain than almost everything else in my life, so it's not something you want to ignore for too long.

i think that it would be a good idea to tell your therapist about any way that you self injure. it is common for a person to have more than one way, and the more open you are, the better they can help you work out what is going on for you.

please let me know if i can help any more. i'm sorry you are struggling, and i would be happy to give you some support.

XO
