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.

confidenticandoit's PULL-FREE-A-THON

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.

I'm doing "mannequin arm" today. Sitting here at the computer, keeping my right hand busy with the mouse. Left arm is dead weight, hand on lap.

Don't stop trying, because suddenly you'll have a good day and find the extra motivation to put your hand down :)
One day at a time :)

Any amount of progress is an accomplishment. Make that sticker chart and give some kind of visual reward for any progress...like less than 5 hairs per day or whatever goal you think is attainable right now.

    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...
