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.

This site is being a real whore to me today. Haven't been able to access, then when I could access I couldn't post. Lets see if this one works.

THANKS for comments, so much appreciated.

Day 8 going well, at the end :)

Thanks Alex, luleee, emmy and nabby :)

Yeah emmy, the list does appear to be working... Hm! But I think it's also a renewed sense of determination, meh I don't know, I'm just skating by.

Well day 9 went well, though I could feel the urges rising an hour or so ago, so I had a shower, and I'm going to put some bandaids on my fingers soon. It's friday night, YAY!!!!!! And I'm catching up on the posts here, some tv, and drinking some wine. Yay!

Band aids on your fingers sound like a great barrier. Great job with staying PF, and with running! Such willpower!

    My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending.  She said that there are needs and there are wants.  She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it?  The answer is mostly "no".  So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed.  I also bought sheets that I don't need...
