Whenever I have a pull episode, I always get fake nails. I don't know why, but it significantly reduces my pulling. I guess because fake nails prevent you from singling out specific hairs you want to pull.
When I pull I don't pull in chunks, but I pull one by one (maximum two but thats only when I thought I had one between my fingers). When I have fake nails, its much harder to single them out, and its not as enjoyable scratching. As well, long nails poke me in the eye when I try to get lashes, and that's a perfect indicator of when I pull. Everytime I reach for my eye I get this pain from my nails, which is perfect in altering behaviour, cuz it makes me aware of everytime I am doing it.

yea i used to only pull out one at a time
ReplyDeletebut then once i was frustrated so i pulled out a whole clump at once
all of the eight hairs had roots making one big root and right before the roots there was a small piece of scalp that also came out (just like excess skin)
now i always pull out in groups of 4 or 5
but when i find a dark thick rough hair i pull it out to make sure it has a root
and a few times i have pulled out an eyelash so awesomely that it came out with a BIG root that was as visible as a hair root
Hi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI have started pulling in groups as well. It just intensifies the feeling, and it feels so good.
