that's actually part of why i started dreading, even though ive been wanting to for a while before i started the terrible scalp picking. i dont pull my hair really but i obsessively pick and its so irritating. not to mention it really really hurts and is gradually causing craters in my scalp >.< right now im not sure if its helping my hair lock up or if its just ripping them apart. but i cant stop doing it no matter how hard i try or how badly it hurts, it has gotten worse lately and pain is a big factor. it also gets in the way of working on my baby dreads cause parts of my head hurt without touching them, touching some spots is almost unbearable [unless im picking vigorously >.<]
i suppose i had somethingt o say specifically but i got distracted by the really inspiring vibe of your post. i had never thought the tree thing but now i think itll probably be in my mind more frequently and your post in general. it kind of made me feel more confident that the picking is helping it lock sometimes and once it locks up the picking might go away. youre quite the inspiration.
im not remembering if there was anything else to mention other than i too am not strong at being cocise and i really like your ppps :]
