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.

Alrighty then. Me, my hair is definitely getting thinner is certain areas. This is what happened a few months ago, and I stopped pulling long enough to thicken it up again. Ok so now I need to stop again. Yesterday, pulled about 5, same the day before, same day before. Today, I'm at zero. I must be pull free for the whole day or I will not get pizza tonight!!! A bribe from my lovely boyfriend. It's 2:15pm, I'm wearing bandaids, and I'm going to make it! I have some free time so I'm going to catch up with everyone.

You can do this. Something about the weather is making it hard to keep from rubbing on the scalp, and I can only give you support that you can do this. You can, you can, you can!
With the driving lessons, did you enjoy them? I drove one time in driver's ed class with the instructor using the brakes (there were brakes on the passenger side), and I turned a corner doing 45 mph (I had slowed down already). I didn't fail the class, however, I got to watch movies while the rest of the class did driving. The instructor couldn't figure out how to teach me to drive ... yelling was not successful. Yep, he was a football coach. My classmates have told me he was scared of me since I told him he didn't know what he was doing.
Here's to catching up, we missed you!
So lovely of your husband to do that :)
Driving lessons, yes I enjoyed them. It was a one on one situation with a nice patient man. He was a very good teacher, and very calm. I got lucky.. Football coach sounds horrible!!!
Missed you too..
Here's to enjoying the pizza!
Keep your hands busy!!!!
You can do this!
Hugs!

Meh I'm ok, I guess I could be worse. Actually to be honest things really suck right now, but there's not much I can do about it.
Still pull free, halfway through day 2.
