It started when I was younger as a way to get out of being in trouble, then it moved on to looking cooler at school, eventually it became habitual.

I have Emetophobia and something has triggered it, and now I am terrified and not having a good day.

Hi, my name's John. I'm seventeen years old and I've been pulling out my hair for the past 8 or so years now. In the past I've pulled out the hair on my head, my eyelashes and my eyebrows. I managed to stop for a few months completely, but it has now come back just in time for my exams... I guess stress plays a big role in triggering it. As most of you can ...

Hi, I am a new member here. This is the second forum I have joined recently in trying to get a grip on my destructive behaviour.

Any advice or tips on how to keep yourself being honest I would truly appreciate it. Thanks you all, and Good ...
