 Ive been so stressed lately my hair is actually falling out, instead of me pulling it.  Creepy.  Maybe becasue I pull it so tight ina bun my head hurts.
 
 I have been doing better about hitting myself, onlyonce recently, but I think about it and my eyelashes are grown back.

 my shrink [and by shrink i mean psychologist, in south africa, psychiatry is expensive and most of our qualified ones leave the country] said try to open your hands, think of comforting yourself, holding your head instead. i don't have time to think though, it's always out of the bloody blue. *pow* one time, i punched my throat repeatedly. not cool, so not cool. there might be a break of a few months between bouts [lool, bouts like boxing..] or it could be all too frequent.
well done for stopping the eyelashes thing, that's really great.
