Help! Why do I pull my hair out? Dr. Bob or Toby?

Posted by anniecatz on November 26, 1998, at 10:50:09

I've been pulling hair out since at least middle school/jr. high. I pulled it out of my head or pulled out eyelashes when I was a kid.
I've done it off and on throughout the rest of my life. In my recent adult years I've noticed I've pulled myself about bald in another place on my body along with pulling out the hair on my head and now my eyelashes again.
I take anti-depressants and they appear to work okay. I never mentioned my hair pulling to my doctor because it never seemed important or it was too embarrassing to mention. Nobody knows me here so I thought I could finally ask. I'm sick to my stomach even asking about it here because I'm afraid what the answer will be. Does this mean I'm crazier than I thought or can deal with?
Help.
