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.

confidenticandoit's PULL-FREE-A-THON

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.

Two days pull free.

Day 8 going well! Had some major urges when I couldn't find my headphones - that's one of my big triggers - FRUSTRATION! But I kept my hands down.

It's surprising I don't loose things more often, my room is always pretty messy.. but I don't find things when I keep them organized, so I guess I need the mess :p hehe

Double digits are coming closer!! :D one day at a time though, but I'm sure you'll get there soon :)
