I have had Trichodynia since I was a child and used to pull my hair out it hurt so bad!
As an adult I found that anxiety wasn't causing it,it was the fact that when I got axiety I would rub my head and that would cause the follicles to get irritated. It didn't take much to do it. Rubbing my head just a few times was all it took and here I was catching myself doing it for hours. No wonder my hair hurt!
I also resent may have discovered the reason for sever hairloss I had never experienced before. Last year I had stomach surgery. Apparently Iron deficiency is a common side affect of some stomach surgerys! Specifically ferritin, which they rarely test unless you beg. You should try to stay above 40 to guard against hairloss. I checked mine and sure enough, I'm at 27.
