I like to think of it as the movie ‘Idle Hands’.ĬUT TO:Scenes from the movies “Idle Hands” And most of it, I gotta say, was in one night.

Over that time I kept on pulling and pulling and it was bald for awhile. I pulled all that out when I was in fifth grade. This is my progress, which I’m trying to keep. Stella shows filmmaker different sections of her hair. And then I just keep on digging, I keep on going, and then it starts bleeding and it just gets out of control so I’m always wearing band-aids on my fingers. Lots of people they like to pick their hangnails but you know mine they go overboard. Same to dermatillomania because derma means skin, and then pulling and then madness. Trich is greek for hair, till means to pull, and mania means the madness. I have trichotillomania and dermatillomania. It’s obsessive compulsive disorder so I keep on going. And that sends a signal in my brain a rush of adrenaline. And I feel like it’s wrong it’s different from the rest, I’ll pull it out. If I was just like casually talking maybe my hand would go through my hair and it feels just one specific hair that it doesn’t like. I lost myself in the tangles of hair on my bedroom floor.įilming Stella, protagonist speaking about her experience And other times, I’m actually glad I have them.

They can also create, heal, or give life. They can destroy, be violent, or self destruct. Music begins to play, someone sitting outside on grass playing with their hands.
