i've been pulling a lot lately. everytime i make a bald spot, i just move my part further over a little bit so my hair covers the bald spot...but now its getting to the point where i cant move the part any further. im going insane............my scalp hurts so bad because its sore from being pulled at, and i dont know what to do anymore. im afraid of letting it get so bad that its going to be really noticeable.
Second, during these times, I find that I get comfortable in pulling and decide I don't care. I have to fight twice as hard to get back on track. During these times I have to take the extra step (like wearing gloves, exercising....anything) to make myself quit. I have to really force myself to get motivated and do better. So what I suggest is putting up reminders (pictures), wearing gloves while watching tv, keeping busy (come on here and type).
I know you can and will overcome this!
