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.

Hello- I am new to the group
-
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...
Ahh sweet normality.
Oh my gosh, I looked at my head in the mirror before, and I swear my part is like 1-2mm thicker than usual at the back. I might be imaginng it though. Either way, I really hate pulling. I find it so disgusting. I hate the hairs everywhere, I hate the itchy scalp feeling, I just hate the pointlessness of it. No more! I have no excuse now anyway lol.
Happy.
Your hair is growing, you're feeling the changes, and if you can handle a vinegar rinse, that might tingle the scalp and give you natural relief. It works on my eyebrows, I just dab a little on them, keeping it away from my eyes, and the relief lasts for a little while.
I rinse it off after a few minutes.
Stay strong, hands down!
yes totally understand about finding the hairs everywhere! they are still appearing on my floor etc despite not having hair for about 2 weeks (I have forgotten already!!!) and vacuuming etc. lol
No more pulling! You can do this xx
Anyway TMI.
Back on the horse girly xxx
Okay. Be disgusted. Kick its ass out the door!! xo
Mrs k IRS is a product of autocorrect. Pretty sure it was meant to read "it's". So annoying.
BACK ON THE HORSE.
Woke up with scalp tingling this morning, must yet again enforce a rule of hands down. I know today will be hard as subconscious pulls are very likely but I can do it!

I was 100% pull free all day yesterday, until I went to bed. Argh I did it subconsciously and I was soooooooo annoyed. I also subconsciously pulled 2 this morning. But I'm doing well. I'll do better. No more today then 100% pull free tomorrow.
