Answers:
Trichtillomania. I think a doctor can help you with a anti-depressant like Paxil - these are related to anxiety.
Good luck. Stop pulling your hair out!
wear a hat and when someone says "take off your hat please" you say "its stuck"
Compulsive hair pulling is called trichotillomania. It is a form of Obsessive-Compulsive behaviors.
You can see a therapist for this. They can help you learn alternative behaviors to deal with the hair pulling and to deal with anxiety in general. One alternate behavior is to place a rubber band around your wrist and pop it every time you get the compulsion to pull your hair out.
Go see a therapist. There is no reason to be embarassed. Most therapists have worked with this disorder before and will not judge you.
Oh you'll stop, when you run out.
Hope this was some help.
Shave your head you can't pull watts not there and its a hair style so questions about it are easy to answer. If u show no shame at being bold people will notice it less as well.
Go to a doc.
