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.

12 days pf but pulled today.

Life is very tough at the moment. At the risk of sounding like a cliched character from a movie, major shit is going down. If you'd like to know, pm me.

Love love and I'm gonna go do the bandage thing so I can't pull any more today.

Xxxxxxxx

Sam, hang tough, you can do it!!! Bandaids are a great reminder to keep those fingers away from your hair, so glad you are using them!

You are strong and supportive, remember all the great advice you've given all of us!!!

Sorry you're struggling right now. Feel free to message me any time!! Sending good vibes your way. You slipped, but before that, you had nearly 2 weeks of pull-free days! That's awesome. I know you can pick yourself back up and do it again. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

    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...
