Hi! Suffer with all sorts of mental health. Trich is my most frustrating one. I don’t have the will to stop when I’m anxious or stressed. Anyone have any tips?

Mental health and trich blend often, I found ssri’s and cutting out as many stressors as I can out of my life reduced the urges, after awhile of not having the urges your brain doesn’t resort to hair pulling as often when stressed.

My trich is severe and no matter how hard I tried I never could stop. After 13 years I finally found a medication that helps a ton though! Mirtazapine, 30 mg. I used to pull about 100 hairs per day, and today I haven't pulled any. I still have the occasional urge, but they're much more mild and actually possible to resist. You might talk to your doctor about trying it. I've tried a lot of meds and it's the first one that's worked for trich. (Fluvoxamine is great for my anxiety though)
For me, when it’s getting bad, I have to put bandaids on my fingertips, and a beanie on my head. If the bandaids don’t work I put mittens on over them!
