Beating Trich Community Group
You mean that there is a name for IT? Im not weird? Trichotillomania, that big, long word that is the bane of our world. With knowledge and support of others we CAN break free and live without this disorder interfering with our lives. Lets keep this uplifting and supportive and give each other the encouragement the other needs to make it to that next day.
Hi, My name is Sam and I'm new to this group. I am 23 and have had trich since I was 12. Over the years I have tried many times to stop, however it's only this past year that I have started to research ways of stopping, and have been really determined to do it. I plan on doing so with a combination of understanding, will-power, exercise, trying the John Kender diet, and seeing a therapist. I love designing, illustrating, cooking, extreme sports, exercising, seeing live music and reading. I would love to provide others with encouragement, and maybe get some support when I fall.

You know, the other thing that helps is also clasping your hands in your lap. I often do this as soon as I realize I want to put my hand up there.
Hugs to you!
Did you make it?
Yesterday - one came out but I'm not sure if its cos I was reaching up to fix my hair as I had been earlier (was in a braid) or if I reached up out of trich habit. It was attached by like one cell. One part of me is like "don't count it" but stupid competitive me is like "you know you won't be able to stop thinking about it). Aaaaargh!
Blah. New day one today. I'm preeeeetty sure i felt it and the rule is, if I feel it, it counts.
And thanks so much Phoebe, mid and lien. My lovely ladies. I do that trick Phoebe, or sit on my hand. It's the best one!
Pf so far, it's 12.36pm. Though i only got up half an hr ago, but hey!! I've been partying lots this week so needed a catch up. It's been great to see my friends so often lately :)
I'm glad you're sticking firmly to your rules. You always do. You're awesome like that. :)
A tiny, thin hair. Barely felt the poor thing come out.
Cheese and rice!
Serves me right for allowing my hand to be up there. But I didn't know it was up there!
They like swimming in the sea. They like a good conditioner. Also, they don't really like being touched. They don't mind being brushed, it feels nice. They DON'T like it when I scrape my fingernails along them, this makes them sad and sometimes causes them to break in half and become crippled! And they don't like it when I play with just one of them. They just want to be left alone to bounce and fly, and sit in peace.
I love my hair babies and I will do my best to protect them.
Hair Babies, sweet little Hair Babies. la la la la la
Yes, protect those little babies. They need you and you need them :)
