I know it's a different disorder from OCD, but there is no thread for it out there....and I think many people with ocd have trichotillomania (compulsion to pull out one's hair), so I thought I'd give it a shot in here. It's actually an impulse control disorder, but anyways...

how can I stop this urge? it's crazy and I don't want to lose my hair :( but pulling it out feels so good. .....

anyone have any experience with this? the term "impulse control disorder" makes me insanely nervous, as if I can't stop the odd impulses I have....but thank God trich is definitely NOT ocd.

thanks in advance for any help given!
