If I'm tweezing my eyebrows or I have just shaved my legs, I look closely and see if there are any hairs that I can pull & take the hair follicle out with it. It is satisfying in the same way popping a zit is. Is it normal?

    I do this sometimes if I can and it is like popping a zit lol. As long as it's not an excessive habit, I think it's okay.

    I did this for a long time before I realized that there were other people out there that did, and that I wasn't crazy. The condition is called Trichotillomania.

    You need to try Amino Acid Therapy. It works! I am 39 and have worn a full wig since age 17. I started taking Neuro Replete and CysReplete about 3 months ago. I am at level two and it has completely worked. We have a serotonin deficiency which can be checked with a urine test. Try a serch on serotonin deficiency and then call Natural Path Health Center at 608-274-7044 they can help explain.
