I was reading in an article about a lady that had a problem or a habit of pulling out her hair.I can' t remember what the diagnosis was. Am I out in left field or what?

Yes. My aunt had terrible anxiety and she would literally take her hair out in clumps. It was sad.

My ex-wife used to do it, but she had obsessive-compulsive disorder. Her anxieties caused her to do this.
