Re: Trichotillomania
Thanks everyone for replying, I feel like such a weird person with an odd problem but the condition has a name so I'm sure it must be more common than people think.

Re: Trichotillomania

Re: What Haven't You Done?
Have you seen The Hobbit though? I wasn't keen on the Lord of the Rings trilogy but I watched the first Hobbit film and really enjoyed it.
I have never rode a bike. Or had pet ferrets.
