Luckily for me though, I tried my hardest to stop pulling out the hairs on my head, and that habit had passed on and left almost bald spots where I would normally pull. I’m still waiting for hair to fully grow in those spots.
Unfortunately I can’t get passed picking the split ends from my long hair and poking at my pores every chance I get, which was probably what helped me stop pulling in the first place.

You need something to keep you distracted from pulling. It’s really hard to stop (for me it was, and still is for my split end/pore picking), but if you find something to knead in your hands or anything to keep your hands busy, it will definitely help.

Whenever I get the feeling to pull at my hair and whatnot, I just try to run my hands through my hair, massage my scalp and rub my neck. It gives me a similar relaxed feeling to when I previously pulled.

tldr; I have similar problems, and suggest coping by keeping your hands distracted. It’s extremely hard (for me) to get over, and wish you the best of luck.

I hope you find a solution to your hair-pulling, Christopher. I know it's a hard habit to break
