Does anyone now why they started pulling?
I think I figured out why I started pulling see I’ve been pulling my hair since about 3rd grade and I’m starting to realize just how many coping mechanisms I use/used are hair related. As a kid I would always twirl my hair and braid it when bored which led to me eating it. I’ve always needed something to fidget with to calm myself down and to keep myself focused and my hair was always an easy thing to play with. and playing with my hair had always calmed me down as when I was youn and couldn’t sleep my mom would lay next to me and let my play with her hair it always calmed me down and helped me relax. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more things that contributed to my reasoning but these are the main things I remember and wanted to see if my experiences were similar to others and made any sense
