When I wash my hair the roots hurt, does anyone know what causes this?
-
Hair roots?
-
Are you pulling on your hair?
-
Don't rub the head of yourself, do it gently
-
a lot of times I pull my hair when I get bored or stressed.
-
trichotillomania?
-
sorry?
-
Trichotillomania is a failure to resist pulling one's own hair. It's typically a sort of stress release. I think most people pull one hair at a time, but probably not everyone. Some people pull eyelashes or even pubic hair.
-
they think of a fancy name for everything in the medical community don't they?!
-
They have to.It creates the illusion that they are smarter than us so they can get paid more.
-
haha its the whole medical community will come crashing down! We must make it public!
-
Wait! I just got a really good job. I don't want to lose it.
Can't we keep it a secret for a bit longer? -
stop being so selfish its one job for a million people to be free! Thats a ratio I will not lose sleep over!
-
But if I'm that one person who loses his job, I will lose sleep!
-
you will get a job under the new medical community as grand commander! So hows that sound?
-
In reply to: a lot of times I pull my hair when I get bored or stressed. Well that's why your head is sore then
-
I do that too. Sometimes I pull it out.
-
oh come on now. Its like you're comparing me to a cutter.
-
It's not really self-injury as much as it is an impulse control disorder.
-
I guess I'm looking at it being inundated in psychopathology.But you're right also.
-
I'm no pyscho!
