Is pulling your own hair out a form of self injury?

pulling hair
Silent_Cutter asked:


I've heard a little bit about this, it's supposed to be some kind of disease or something, but I'm not sure.

I don't know if its still considered self injury. Its just an addicting habit. I find myself constantly thinking about pulling, strand by strand.

Sometimes it takes my mind off of cutting, so I thought that maybe it was a good alternative.

The way I see it, it causes me less harm to pull hair than cut my arms.

Any advice or helpful information?
