You might have trichotillomania which is a hair pulling disorder. I’ve developed this disorder when I started middle school & have suffered from it ever since. I would tell a health professional this the next time you see them esp if it’s causing you distress. I didn’t even know the medical term for it until I reached college so you’re not alone for not knowing. So much help is out there for it.
