pulling hair?

Does anyone know of anyone who pulls out their hair? I don't mean out like it's attached, but hair that is shedding anyway. Like running your hands through your hair over and over and getting rid of the hair. Unfortunately I have developed this habit when I am driving and I can't get over it. My kids are starting to comment about it and so I want to stop but I can't. Any advice?

Habits are difficult to break. You can do a google search & find lots of ideas, self-help books & even programs that you can enroll in. It's no different than quitting smoking or changing your eating habits. You need the desire to WANT to change. Maybe you could substitute something like a rubber band on your wrist & when you feel the urge to run your hand through your hair, snap it. That has been successful for others. HTH Good luck & GBU!
