[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 440929, member: 4264"] Colored dye pens? They make such things? Where would I buy them? I once had hair short, and loved it. That summer I had a couple of chunks of hair in the front done in a bright red and it looked fantastic with my dark black hair. I'll have to try to find what you are talking about!! I don't think its related at all to MS Janet. I've had this problem since I was about 11 years old, about the time I moved to my fathers for just about a year. Came home with acute anxiety which I'd never had and have dealt with off/on ever since, and went from a thin and healthy girl to gaining 75 lbs in a year by soothing via food. It's definitely a anxiety thing and its so strange because there is so much research on it and I've done the doctor thing several times and really, it's not something easily treated although if you can afford behavior therapy it can help I'm told. Anti-anxiety medications can help hugely, although when I'm not experiencing periods of actual anxiety attacks, I don't take medications and don't want to take them just for the hair pulling them. I guess I'm just grateful that I've only a couple of times ever done a major amount of damage to my hair overall. And many years can go by at a time where I don't do it at all. This past couple years have been doozies in some ways, while so many areas of my life calmed and improved (yay!) other things cropped up like meeting my sister.
