Yep, me too, although I cover them up.
I'm on three meds for anxiety and depression.
I guess they are working somewhat as I've only got two current 'fun sites' on my head.It's kind oflike Trich but I don't pull my hair out. I think its supposed to be a form of OCD.
Your sister in law should definitely be on Meds, just send her to her GP, he should be able to give her something.
I think it is too, as I love the pain.
Sick, huh.
> My sister-in-law does this to her head. She has bloody scabs all in her hair. She is on NO meds, but definately has a lot of issues with anxiety and OCD. I think her therapist has also mentioned that it might be a self-harming sort of activity.
