Trichotillomania causes are often complex, and every case of trichotillomania is personal and will vary. It can be an extremely emotionally distressing condition, however, we can assure you that you are not alone and there is support available. We have collated a list of tips that may be of some value whilst trying to cope with trichotillomania.

Keep A Diary

Everyone will be at a different stage in their journey dealing with trichotillomania, however you might not be ready to talk about it or receive hair loss treatment yet. If you keep a diary of how you’re feeling, it may take the weight of slightly and map out any anxieties in life. If you’re not consciously hair pulling, you may be able to gain some insight as to when and why it is happening. A diary is a great way to track your progress and be proud of any achievements.

Occupy Your Hands

If you know that you will be engaging in an activity that doesn’t require any use of your hands, it may be worth investing in sensory items that will occupy your hands, such as a fidget spinner or a stress ball. In time, you will be more conscious as you will associate that item with the urge to pull.

Speak To Your Loved Ones

If you feel you are ready to talk about your condition, confide with loved ones on a level that you feel comfortable. Don’t be embarrassed as they will want to support you. You may want to establish a code word between yourselves, so that if you are unconsciously pulling, they can subtly remind you!
