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.

Good job with just 1 hair!!
HUGS
Well I pulled another hair. And played a bit which was bad.
So I feel a little dirty. But it's put me off playing any more. Playing leads to pulling. Playing is a no no.
BIG HUGS, love you Alexandrite you sparkling gem!
Yes, playing is bad...so tempting, but baddddd. I like your system of setting decreasing limits for yourself so you don't have to start your pull-free over and over again.
You're doing great.
You probably don't know this but when you replied to my email here.... you sent it 38 times. HAHAHAHHAA Or shall i say, it repeated itself 38 times. DS LOVES YOU hehehhe
HUGS
Playing is definitely a no no, it’s a last warning call before the actual pulling.
Keep up your amazingness missy!! :)
Hugs!
Ha Alex I'm SO sorry, shit 38 times!!!!!!! Woah.
Thanks lien! Yes I'm very happy, I had a lot of motivation though with a shiny bald patch..
Ok so last night I pulled about 4 or 5, so it wasn't so much a successful day. Triggers were drinking a crapload of wine, being tired, and mourning.. Ah yeah.. I'd say 4 of those hairs were on purpose.
Today has been successful so far, 100% pf, it's 4.30pm. For the rest of this week I have a limit of 2 not on pupoe hairs per day for it still to be a successful day.
:) thanks guys
4-5 is NOT bad. Wine....WINEEEEE!!! My trigger too. The urges REALLY kick in when I drink cider.
You can do this!! 2 not on purpose hairs is good.
HUGSSSS
I wish I was your neighbor so we could drink craploads of wine!
You just can't let your hands go up there. I call it "foraging". If you let yourself play, you are giving yourself permission to pull.
Stick to your plan. You are doing extremely well through a difficult time. xoxoxoxo
