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.

Thanks guys!! Now how did that happen? Time just got away from me.

I got a sticker yesterday and the day before for pulling only 3 hairs each day.

Aiming for 100%pf today, but I'll be happy with 3 hairs or less.

I hope it went well. Oh yes, time can be a slippery bugger.

Less than 3 hairs a day is still awesome. Sometimes I give myself a sticker if I pull one hair subconsciously, but only when I am just starting trying to be PF after slipping up for awhile. Go for that 100% goal!!

Kava Kava tea...take me away....
Get some of this most relaxing tea, when you are feeling tension and the need to pull, sip some of this warm brew.
Stay strong-one day at a time....Hugs.

    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...
