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.

Go for it! Boom , Boom, Bang, and off to around the track, plunge into the pool, and have fun!

You can do this!

I love Phoebe's saying!

Hugs instead of tugs!

Being confident enough to go swimming is huge! 600m is way more than I could swim, haha.

600 M is excellent. I've been away from the pool for weeks, so I hope to get that far the next time. I usually try for 1200, with a 1000 minimum.

Busy hands are a good thing <3

Sam!! I went back and read all the old posts. I'm sorry you've been going through so much anxiety lately! But you are a fighter, your spirit keeps me coming back here when I have given up on myself and my pulling....

Keep talking to the shrink and know that this community is here for you! (Even though I have disappeared for several months..... I have now returned to send you so much support and hugs! We are all facing this anxiety/obsessive compulsive disorder together and we can be THE support system....)

    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...
