Pulling hair out?

[BumbleGirl]

Hello,

I have ocd and am currently waiting to hear back about my first cbt appointment. What I wanted to know is does anyone else with ocd have the uncontrollable urge to pull hair out?
I pull out my eyelashes and rub my eyes to get my eyelashes out and my eyes are often very sore because of this.
I also pull any tiny hairs out on my chin I can find. Even though I myself know I don't have many it is just an uncontrollable urge to do it! And again this has caused my chin to be red and spotty.
I was wondering if this is trichotillomania or part of my ocd or is it both?
It is just such an uncontrollable urge and it relieves any tension I have.
If I can't find my tweezers I actually get really stressed and anxious and won't rest until I have found them even if it takes hours and I know that's not normal :-( xx

I do this on my arm when im anxious. I think its all part of anxiety and feeling edgy. Hang in there until your appointment :) I hope you feel better :)

My daughter does this too, I have OCD its so upsetting to see her do it and she has no control she has about half her hair now she pulls so much. xx
