mindlessly pulling or picking?

I sometimes zone out and then realize that there’s a pile of hair next to me. I even have a callus on my finger from my trichotillomania tendencies…

@MartianGirl347 huggs you ❤ I think when we some out through anxiousness or depression, most of us fiddle or do something with our hands we are not aware of at the time. Sometimes I scratch my arms, without knowing. Have you tried to keep something like a stress ball or you you can quickly put in your hands at all times. If you think you might be starting to zone out?

Thanks for your input! 😊

I do try to have a lot of fidget toys I could keep around me at all times, or try to work on my hobbies to keep my hands busy. It nice to know I’m not alone 😌
