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.

Hello- I am new to the group

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...
Best wishes! Stay strong!
You've got this!
"It's not the length of a pull free period that defines success. It's how quickly we bounce back after slipping." <- one of the wisest things i have ever heard in my entire life. i am adding this to my trich quote collection. this is so important to understand and internalize. i heard it first from one of your posts, and i have been thinking a lot about it everyday. it really disrupts the long cycle(s) of self-hate and really disastrous notions of "perfection" i (and quite possibly we) were, and still are, conditioned to pursuit.
you're not failing *at all with* your trich! <3 <3 <3
I'm doing great. But getting massive urges due to work stress and being tired so must put on barriers. Now!
Barriers.
Thanks so much for the support Phoebe, Mid and Jungle!
I got my two stickers yesterday, woo!! My chart is still looking pretty damn good. See if I didn't have the chart I'd be at a measly day 1 pf. And while I am just one day pf, I can SEE all of my good work from this month. It's not lost when I start my count over. Sticker charts people!
Keep up the good work, Sam! xoxo
