HELP!! School's starting on monday and I need advice!!!!

I'm not sure if anyone saw my last post but I've been pulling my hair A LOT since this summer and school's starting next monday.
I feel so out of control.
I would manage to not pull for an hour but after that, I'm hopeless.
I really don't want to be pulling my hair out during class because I don't want anyone to notice that I'm doing it.
I'm ashamed that I do this but at the same time, I want to tell someone (a school counselor maybe if they don't tell my parents..)

My parents don't know I'm doing this. They think I'm just scratching my head because I have eczema and they just tell me to stop. I really don't want them to know I'm doing this but I know I need help.

I feel like it's going to get worse over the school year because I think I pull my hair whenever I think about school(hard classes, homework, AP tests, projects, GRADES) I used to think I was pulling because I wanted attention but I know that's not true anymore.

Can someone please give me advice on how to stop pulling for a long period of time? How can I stop thinking about school? And should I tell a counselor at school???

Maria it seems that you do

Maria it seems that you do not have enough to do during the summer. It sounds like your pulling your hair out of boredom. It really is fun to do,,,,,I get it. With you going back to school hopefully your hair pulling will taper but will never disappear. It's great that you have found this site to help you cope and maybe use that energy towards something else. Keep in touch and report how you are doing with school.
