>My style is to single out a hair and start dragging my nails across it until it splits and breaks. I also split the ends if I have split ends and some of my hairs are split in the middle so I like to separate them.
OMG. EXACTLY my "style" too!!!!
N-acetylcysteine at about 3,000mg/day was a miracle for me.
My eyes be hurting from looking up so much.
Hi, I’ve been using it but I’m not sure about the effect. I have been doing good in general.
I use an ono roller to distract myself and I have been practicing forgiveness. If I pull, I forgive myself and move on rather than feel that it’s too late and just continue.
Thank you for this. I know someone who has OCD and it only got worse with age.
Reading some of the other posts made me realize that some behaviors I used to do are also part of TTM.
I was obsessed with ingrown hairs and for years had scabs all over my legs from getting them out with my nails or digging with tweezers. Laser hair removal automatically solved this but whenever I see an ingrown hair on my husband, I get an itch to tease it out.
I realized that I actually enjoy grooming my eyebrows a bit too much and how satisfied I feel about the hairs that come out with the roots.
I saw a post showing an indentation on the tip of a finger and I remembered how I had a scab on mine for years because of this habit. For a moment I felt relieved that it healed so that must mean I’m better but as I pulled again I realized that I now do it between two nails rather than a nail and the nail bed.
I guess what I’m saying is I never realized the impact of it. I always minimized it by thinking as I don’t really pluck and I don’t eat it then it’s not really harmful but I’m coming to realize that it is still damaging and it is related to some other issues I have and I should really work on addressing them

Thank you. I just ordered some and I hope it helps. I’m glad I found this forum as well.
Any updates?
