Actually I've been away for a full week! That's s first.

I was wondering where you were. Missed you. Here's to staying strong, getting more rest, and know you are loved, appreciated, and hugs as well!

yikes 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night only?? poor u.
You can do this girlie. Stay strong. I'm with u. HUGS

Oh thank you Mid, you're very sweet.

Back to normal sleep now Alex, it was just a mega project that the client poorly planned (time wise).

One day pull free I do believe! Determined to make it two.

Oh shit just pulled a hair. Oh well. Can still go pf for the rest of the day.

Ooh one more. Damn it!

you can do this girlie. Keep your hands down!!

Yeah that's the trick. I'm fine aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall day, provided I don't sit down in front of a tv or computer. Argh!

Here is a trick to help in sitting to view television or computer. Practice changing the pattern of how you move into this activity.

I had to switch to getting a glass of water and that was enough to stop my hand from flowing in the direction of danger zone.

You can do this! Keep em hands being active elsewhere!

thats when i relapse too. MY COMPUTER!! GRRRR . I also get up and do something. You can do this!

Right now my weakest moments are in the car, especially when I'm stuck in the back seat & I'm bored. At the computer, I just automatically sit on the left hand, if I'm not using it, with the right hand on the mouse. It really works. In front of the TV or reading, you just have to have a hat. I'm always knitting when I watch TV, and that helps a lot. Take up other habits. Break the link Ask yourself why you pull in those situations. Break it down.

YOU CAN DO THIS!! xoxo

Good idea Mid, I have been drinking a LOT of tea and water while working, it's good.

Alex I get up and do something when I can but I can't be getting up every 5 minutes! Which is what would be ideal.

Phoebe I hardly ever get the urge to pull in the car.. I know in front of the TV I need a hat, but right now living at home with my parents I just don't want to. I don't really want to bring up trich with them. I just can't be bothered and I don't want to make it a big deal. Sitting on one hand is out of the question as I often need both hands to design. I'm thinking some kind of ball/plaything perhaps attached to my laptop cord. A hat would be best, or headscarf. But what will I do when I work in an office? It's gotta be willpower.

Well yesterday afternoon and night deeeeeeefinitley not pull free. Today's a new day, I've gotten a good start by going for a run and washing my hair.

I CAN do this! Thanks xx

yes you can sam!! YOU CAN!! I have a suggestion. Bandaids...on your fingers... wrap them up. That may work for you. I...just peel them off. blah. Anyhow, you can do this!!

xo

You can do this! Um, when it comes invisible techniques, I picture pretty lace gloves on my fingertips to help me keep from messing with my danger zones.

You can do this! You're not alone!

Stay strong!

Of course you can do it!! Maybe some noisy bracelets can help :)
Hang in there, once you’ll get through the first week, it probably will get a little easier!
GOO SAAM GOOOOOO!!!!!!
