Studies have shown that the urges to pull hair increase during the premenstrual phase of a woman's cycle, and decrease during the period and a little bit afterwards.
This raises more questions since trichotilomania affects more women than men (10:1 female to male ratio).

I can not tell you how happy I am I found your site. I found it yesterday before bed and bookmarked it. Today, I sit at my desk studying, the most common time and place for a pulling fit and I decided to look at your blog instead.
ReplyDeleteIt's Working, I feel so happy that there are so many others and that just LOOKING at your site is helping me resist! YOU'RE A HERO! :)
Hi Jenn,
ReplyDeleteI can't even tell you how much your comment means to me. I'm so happy that my blog is helping you out, and it's comments like yours that help me deal with my pulling too. Thank you so much for that <3
