I thought I was the only one.

Hey there. My name is Leanne..I am 34 years old and a mommy of 3 wonderful boys. I have a pretty perfect life... so I don't understand why I have this need to yank my hair out. I always thought it was just me doing it and even just finding this group has made me feel a lttle less guilty about it...but I don't know how to stop doing it. My husband and family are constantly telling me to stop pulling my hair, but they really don't see the problem that it has grown into, they think I should just stop..simple as it sounds.
I can remember when I was about 6 years old and I used to pull patches of hair out...my mom one day saw a bald spot and freaked thinking I had some disease, I simply told her that I did it. I didn't do it again until after my first baby was born, stillborn. That was 7 yeaqrs ago and it just seems to be getting worse. My hair has gotten so thin that I wear extensions now.
My life is great..I have a great hubbie, great kids, just opened a new business that I love...what is my problem??? I am currently taking medication for an anxiety disorder...don't know what I'm so anxious about, everything is so good.
I've never told this to anyone, it feels good to get it out.
