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.

Thank youuuuu! Alex I think I will. I'm trying my hardest and just keeping my hands out of my hair. You dud so so well last time, you just need to keep trying and soon something will click inside you and you'll be excited again. That's what happened to me. I started my pf over like 10, 15, maybe 20 times. I don't know, maybe more! Almost definitely more. Anyway just be patient and persistent. You can do this.

Ok, 7 days pull free!!! Today is day 8, and I slipped on day 8 in my pf last time. That one, bastard hair. HANDS DOWN today.Grrr I'm going to make it!

    My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending.  She said that there are needs and there are wants.  She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it?  The answer is mostly "no".  So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed.  I also bought sheets that I don't need...
