I have trichotillomania. It has gone and come back several times in my life.?

First when I was 11, the second when 18 probably went for a year. The thing is, I didn't decide to stop and stop(although I decided to stop several hundreds of times). I just eventually stopped, my life improved and i just stopped doing it(at the time I had a bald patch of about the size of a small mobile phone). So, it's all grown back now. But it still feels the same, itchy under the skin hot and uncomfortable - the urge is still there it always has been. So, the habit is gone but not the urge, i want the urge and the odd feeling that part of my head has, needs to go away not just the habit of pulling the hair out there. Does anyone know lots about this and can help me?

I think I have it too, I pick my eyelashes and eyebrows. Sometimes I end up with huge gaps on my eyelids, it's disgusting. Lately I've pretty much stopped and I'm just waiting for them to grow back, but I get the urge all the time. I don't think it ever goes away. You should try this site www.trichotillomania.co.uk there's heaps of information, sufferers' stories, treatment ideas etc. Good for you for getting your hair back!
Reply:I would recommend you see a therapist or preferably a psychiatrist. You may need medication to help with this. It does not mean you are crazy.
