How can I stop this before it gets bad?

...See more I have Trichotillomania, a disorder where you compulsively pull out your own hair. It started about three years ago, went away, and then came back a year ago. I am essentially bald and I wear a hat all the time so people don't see my head. It's what I do when I'm bored, stressed, sad, even happy. I pull out my hair. Recently, though, things got worse and I'm pretty sure that my parents are going to get divorced. My mom kicked my dad out three weeks ago, and now he's living in a hotel. I guess because of all the added stresses, I cut myself last night. It bled, but it wasn't very deep. I think I'm going to do it again, and I want to know how I can stop before it becomes a habit.
