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.

The best gift we give ourselves with these pulls is to know we are doing something, even if it's not exactly what we wanted.
typos are needed for friends, its how we know we're being free with our feelings, and it helps us to remember we are not alone with this urge.
Hugs!
And thanks Mid :) You always have a different perspective!
Well well I've not pulled any hairs at all this morning! Though granted it's only 9:40am, but I've been up for an hour and a half. I've already resisted about 6 hairs, three of those were very tempting hairs. I'm finding it particularly hard in my favourite spot, as there is already a little bald patch. It's like when the edges of a jumper are frayed, you pull at it. Well the edges of my hairline are frayed, and us trichsters are always attracted to the "different" feeling hair. I forgot what a big trigger a bald patch is.... you just want to keep picking at it, pulling the "stand out" hairs out.
But I'm rather determined to continue my good streak.
Your bf is so sweet. :) It's great that he's moving in with u and your mom. More support the better :) He seems like a great guy :)
You wanna try taping your fingers up? Annoying as hell but... it works for me.
I was pf all day til just then, pulled like 5 hairs. No more!
I gave up counting, since I reach my limit on a daily basis, so what I went back to was the clipboard, and it seems to be working at the moment.
Hugs!
BIG HUG

Thanks for hug mid!
Thanks Luleee, we can :)
Hard, yes! Thanks Alex.
Hehe fun sandwich Phoebe. I must remember A does not have to equal B. I'm also struggling with subconscious pulls right now so sometimes B can happen without me even being aware of A!
Well I've pulled maybe 5 hairs today. I was going through some financial stuff and it really stressed me out! I had a shower, washed my hair and was pull free for 2 hours :) Go me! Just then accidentally pulled one subconsciously. So starting my count again. Going to make it to 3.12 pm pull free. That's an hour from now.
