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.

Soz is short for sorry :)

There's also "totes", "totes innapropes" (totally inappropriate).

Thanks Phoebe! Yeah it really feels much easier again. Definitely back into the rhythm.

Yes lien I did it :) like I said to Phoebe, it's been kind of easy.. Of course I've resisted many, many urges. But I've just really not wanted to pull.

24 days pf. 7 days til I'm a month pull free..

Ahhhhh, just cut off 4 super kinky hairs that have been bugging me for, I kid you not, at least 5 months.

Sam I always do that! When I play with my hair (bad bad bad!) some hairs become like corkscrews at the end and then I can't resist them. I cut them rather than pull, usually.

Hurrah! Cutting the hair is still pull-free, since you are working with the hair, not against it. So proud of you! Keep strong, you can do this!
Hands down, hands busy, hands to the rescue somewhere else!
