I'm a junior in college and I tend to be stressed when I'm at school. I scratch/pick/pull whenever I study - which is a lot of the time. Basically it's any time I'm anxious. My anxiety also stems from hypochondriasis - not diagnosed but I pretty much am a hypochondriac. I'm getting a little better with that, I think. I really want to stop but I don't know how - that's why I'm here.
Sports, movies, theater, and ducks.

I started picking the skin on my scalp when I was in high school but I didn't think much of it. When I got to college and started getting really stressed I started pulling out my hair too. I knew it was trich because I have a family member who was diagnosed with it when they were young.
