Just accidentally pulled one. Don't actually think it was really attached. Ah well, count starting over.

I"m doing hourly counts again, then I'll move back onto daily caps, then onto 100% pf. In the next few days.

oh sam........ im sorry you had a bad night.... :( YOU CCAN DO THIS!!! RESIST RESIST RESIST!!! blah. IM ROOTING FOR U!!!
im going to do hourly ccounts too.

Thanks Alex. I'm now 2 hrs pf :)

I thought perhaps I had a thin patch towards the back of my head. I looked with two mirror.. And it was a definite bald spot (mentioned in my post 2-3 posts ago). Shit.

2hrs pf, I'll focus on that.

I'm responding to RDWs question about accidental pulls, since I agree with Sam's philosophy. For me, being 100% completely PF just isn't happening. Maybe because I pulled for 43 years(often 100+ per day), my perspective is that since I am so much more aware and in control of my pulling I can forgive myself a couple/few a day.

Analogy: think of letting a little steam out of a pressure cooker. I feel like if I don't allow those few I am going to completely lose control and go into the old "zoned-out pulling". I have trich, and I accept that I will always have trich. I am proud of what I've accomplished since I've come here. DS has changed my life.

Sending you strength, Sam!! Personally, I'm wearing a baseball cap today. Each hour counts, and I'm so proud of your spirit!! Keep going....you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks accepting!!!!!! I think that your technique is PERFECT for you, and probably a lot of other people. Not for me however (for me that tends to keep the subconscious pulls happening), but it's a very smart way of approaching a pf. GO YOU!!!!!! I'm so proud of you too.

Thanks for the strength. I made it 17.5 hrs pull free (slept for a chunk of it). Woo! Robo hand just went up and plucked out a tiny barely attached hair. Oops. But I believe I can go the rest of the day and night pull free. Going out with friends tonight, yippee, and I'm just about to go and read in the sun on my balcony.

I shudder every time I think about that bald spot I created on the back of my head. I'm so glad I looked at it in the mirror... It doesn't FEEL like a bald spot so I could have carried on pulling from it. I wasn't even aware I was pulling from that spot a lot.......We really do get zones that are just begging us to pull from them.

woohooo 17.5 hours pull free. That's awesome!! CONGRATSSSS!!!

Damn robo hand!! Have fun tonight!!

You are so right about the zones. Mine is top of my head. I HATE IT. The zone. Not the top of my head. I do hate the top of my head when it has no hair lol.

HUGS

Hubby banned me, and yes, it was fun, "wild", and the hangover the next day was ... in the throne room.

I agree with the way to count - all of what we do helps!

Hugs to you!

Thanks Alex!! Now I'm 19 hrs pull free! I had a great night.

Oh mid, you can dance on tables any time you like :)

Must be pull free today, must!

24 hrs pull free!!!!!!

hahaha that's is funny mid :)

woohoooo 24 hours!! fantastic!! YOU CAN DO THISSSSS!!!

Well I pulled a little last night. Not much..

Start over today, I can do it. Come on 100% pull free.

come on girl !!!!! i am with you. entering my 25th hour.. !!!! HANDS down, remember.. no excuse.. hands down !!

Well I did great yesterday and also today. Only 1-3 subconscious pulls yesterday, a Tony bit of foraging tonight, resulting in a couple of pulls.

Doing well :)

congrats hon. You are doing SUPERB!!

good work missy ,glad you are doing well but keep those hands down.. foraging is wayyyy to dangerous and is forbitten ! DONT do it !!!!.. you are not strong enough yet (speaking for myself .. and i think you are in same space as me - pullwise) the temptation to pull is too strong after a relapse (wow i sound like a real expect.. though suddenly i feel like i am starting to understand this trichy business due to much help and advice from your wise self. !!n. the only way is hands down right now.. keep up the good work missy.. .. you rock !
