In a spike and its hard to be calm

[brigettehandleyParticipant]

Hi everyone; I’m in a real state right now with my trich. I can’t stop pulling and eating my hair.

I rarely have a break from it and it’s endless. Tips from anyone on how to stop are really appreciated.

Hi there… Just a thought…

Would putting hair cream or conditioner on your hair make a difference? To make it feel different to the touch.
