No. For trichsters, pulling out hair feels good. Why? Because the pulling causes your body to release chemicals that create a feeling of euphoria. Eventually, we have to keep pulling more hair i order to feel the same rush. Hence why pulling episodes can last hours.
Actually, pulling out hair does hurt…but we don’t feel it because of the chemicals, called endorphins, our body releases. Many of us had a constant stream of endorphins running through our body, so trying to stop pulling is extremely difficult. We suddenly have no “drug" running through our system, so what we feel is sort of like withdrawal.
This is also another reason why I consider my pulling to be self harm, and maybe why trichsters are also drawn to other self harm behaviors.
What’s your opinion?
