Do I Have Trichotillomania? Need Advice!

When in doubt, bring it up to them. Sometimes I mention something in passing to my therapist that I think is normal and she stops me and says hold up no that’s not normal let’s talk about that. So I say definitely bring it up. As someone who is struggling really bad with dermatillomania I wish I had started taking it seriously a lot sooner before I was covered in scars and open sores that I can’t let heal

It doesn't hurt to talk about it worst they say is it doesn't and even then you are still talking about the issue.

Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate it! I’ve recently just learned through this app I’ve been self harming (dark thinking, daydreaming, biting my nails into the skin, pinching my hands) every time I’m anxious about something. I had no idea that was a coping mechanism for me. I don’t think I have any insight, but please know people like you are helping us all out! I have yet to bring it up to my therapist, too, and I’m wishing you the best!
