Anyone else have this as an OCD?
I've been splitting my split ends ever since I found out what a slit end was...
I'm 19 now... probably been doing it for 5 years...
I do it when I'm bored, when I'm scared, when I'm anxious, when I'm nervous, when I'm depressed...

It takes my mind off my anxiety a bit....
and no matter what I try to do, I can't control it...

yes i do exactly the same thing. when i read a book or watch tv or in lectures i find my hands wonder and start picking at my hair and breaking off my split ends. i've probably been doing it for 8 years (i'm 23 now). it really affects my hair styles and is embarrassing to explain when i go to the hairdressers. i do it more when i'm anxious and worried. it is different from the condition trichotillomania cos i don't acually pull the hair out but i'm sure it is some type of obsessive compulsive behaviour. i found a website about skin pickers that mentions it but i'm not sure how relevant it is. nobody really knows much about it.
