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.

Two days pull free.

Thanks lien! Thanks mud, yes it does reel great crossing an item off :) Thanks Alex for not skimming!! Ha. And for your super enthusiastic support. Lbee, lists are the vest. I've always been a list maker. That way all my to-do's are on paper and I don't have to worry about forgetting something.

Well..... 14 days pull free!!!!!!! TOTALLY pull free. No subconscious pulls, nothing.

So proud :) Now, I'm not sure if I should make a goal or not. During this pull free my only goal was just to get through each day from when I woke up. I think I might continue that way. I don't even see 3 weeks in my head, I just wanna get through day 15.

Woo day 15!!

FANKS! Been a bit hard today, pretty much every hair on my head is tempting. Why? WHY? I wonder if it's something that I ate/drank last night? Or two days ago.. I wonder if my trich is triggered by what I consume. I'm just to lazy to do an experiment to find out!
