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.

confidenticandoit's PULL-FREE-A-THON

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.

Two days pull free.

It's inspiring for me to see the way you pick back up from day 1 again and just keep right at it without beating yourself up. Thanks for the example, and you're doing great! (Professor Moody would be proud!)

Aw thanks coyote, I've been stopping and starting for 4 months! I'm just on a roll at the moment. But you're right, I don't linger on the pulling, I feel annoyed then move on. Perhaps I deal with it so well because I have all my hair, no damage. So i don't look in the mirror and SEE the failure. We all know, if there was no visible damage, we'd hardly care that we pull. But even when/ if I do get some damage, I'll try to employ the same "philosophy".

Mrs k - it's pretty easy at the moment. I'm rather motivated, and I'm almost completely keeping my hands out of my hair, therefore not brushing with danger frequently.

Still pf, 8:44pm.
