Trichotillomania

Hi, I've had Trichotillomania for around 2-3 years. Though, my Trich isn't that bad. When I first started to pull I was in the 7th grade, and I would pull at the back of my scalp. I realized what I was doing and quickly forced myself to stop. Then, a month before 8th grade, I started to pull out my eyebrows. And I've continued to do so for pretty much 2 years. I'm a freshman now, and I'm still really struggling with it. I don't remember exactly how I got myself to stop pulling the first time. Do you have any ways I can prevent myself from pulling. I've tried keeping my hands busy, but I always stop what I'm doing  to pull.. 
          Thank you ❤️

@NoiseyButt 
            I know how you feel, and it can be stressful when you stop what you're doing and pull - that's happened to me many times.  There was a time where my pulling went down because I put plasters on my thumbs - which made it difficult to pull. And another important thing, which I feel works quite well, is jazzing up different kinds of pulling preventions. Like use plasters for a bit, then change to fidget toys etc.
            Hope this was helpful, good luck :)

I have a severe case of Trichotillomania. I've pulled every hair at last 3 times and I'm already past my first week of school. I take daily biotin supplements, biotin infiused hair growth oil, and biotin infused conditioner. Any tips towards hair growth and anti pulling?

@TheRiseOfMerthur personally I wear a beanie or sit/interact with someone when I have an urge to pull.
