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.

So glad you keep inspiring us to keep at it, no matter what!

Keep it up!!
Manda, I have no idea yet! I guess I should think of them to motivate me hey.. I'll think about it.
Thanks Mid. You inspire me too.
I've never used the stickers before BKC, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing lots of stickers when I do slip up though.
Hm I've only collected one sticker in 3 days. It was a smiley sticker, so 3 hairs pulled, a PPF day. I'm keeping my bandaids on all day today. Determined for more stickers. Actually I'm really determined not to make my hair worse. My hair is naturally thin-ish, so when I pull, it really declines rapidly. I'm so unhappy with it at the moment. I really need a haircut but it looks awful when wet. I know it's pathetic but I just can't face the hairdresser until I have a bit more growth. I was looking at photos of my hair from September a year and a half ago and it was so THICK and bouncy and gorgeous. I want it back! It's just such hard work, and set backs can really set you back for such a long time. I've been chipping away at my hair for a year and a half now, honestly it's not as bad as it could have been. I've gotten better. So I should be proud of that I guess.
Ugh ramble over.

The beginning is hard, but once you have a couple of stickers, the motivation really kicks in..
Maybe your big reward could be a new haircut..?
Hugs!! xx
Yes, haircut can be reward for 30 stickers in a row. That's what I was thinking!
I pulled today.
Bandaids on.
Stresssssful day, but things could be worse.
Keep those bandaids on, I believe in you!

Oh man, I've collected 3 stickers since I started last week. No sticker for me yesterday, pulled about 20. Today about 10 already. Just put bandaids on.
But I'm here, I"m posting, I have barriers on. I'm trying, I'm committed.
:)
So yeah, I didn't hate myself for pulling.
Today however, no excuse.
I'm sorry about your mum, open heart surgery sounds super scary.. Hope everything goes well!
Go for your star sticker!! You can do this and you definitely deserve it!
That day I took my bandaids off while washing the dishes, and forgot to put them back on, and accidentally pulled 2 hairs. I put more bandaids on after that and got a sticker!
Yesterday I was really good all day, even though it was a very emotional day, but in the evening I probably pulled about 5-6. No sticker.
Today I've pulled 2 so far (also subconsciously, ergh). Going to put on bandaids so I can get another sticker!
