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.

70 day pull free!!!

Hehe you're right Kirstin, it's like I WANT near impossible projects. I haven't finished the project yet, it's taken an estimated 20 hours so far.... will be about another 5 for. We had our special day yesterday so I didn't want to ruin it by cutting out hearts all day... Boo. But he knows I'm oranising something little. He won't care it's a day late!

I found it kinda hard last night, I had the 'hmm one wouldn't be so bad' thought. Naughty!!! Sometimes I come so close... I'm working on getting stronger.

HUGS!

Arghhhhhhhh I hate being such a big crier. I cry at anything. ANYTHING. If my boyfriend and I have a minor minor disagreement, I cry. I hate it, it makes me seem so emotional, I can't help it or control it. I cry at almost anything and it's SO frustrating. Especially when I can't sit down and have a proper discussion about something sensitive without crying. I feel so sorry for my boyfriend, he has gotten a broken toy.

Anyway. I know a few of you are rather big criers too, so thought I'd share my frustration.

GR.

You should be happy that you can cry!! When I was your age I didn't cry often, I couldn't !! BUT ......I could get angry at anything and anyone, angry and moody.
Trust me, it's better to cry. I know that now when I cry at anything!
You're boyfriend will be ok, he will get used to it:)
Hug.

deleted_user 02/16/2011

awwwww BIG HUG!! Yeah he'll get used to it. I remember with the ex, when he started to nag, i would force myself to cry so he would JUST SHUT UP!! hahahah. Didn't always work. :P

He must be so excited about the thing u have planned for him!! hehehe You're sweet. Still working on it the day after :)

Yes, I have to talk to myself and sometimes be mean when i start thinking ONE HAIR IS OK! it is not.

HUGS

From one big crybaby to another, it's ok. It makes us human. Sometimes just when I think I have become apathetic, something jumps out and pulls at my heart strings....

confidenticandoit 02/16/2011

Oh my boyfriend sure is used to it!!!!! I don't think he minds that much, but it must come across as insulting a fair bit, as when he doesn't live up to my expectation I cry a river..... SO it makes me seem a whole lot more upset than I really am... What I was trying to say was that my level of crying isn't a true indicator of how upset I really am and that can cause little problems sometimes. Annoying.

Anyway.

71 days pull free yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I will try not to touch my hair today.

xoxox

Reading back... one hair is NOT okay!!!

I used to cry too much - especially at work - so embarrassing. Now that I'm on an anti-depressant, I hardly cry at all. I could use a good one, now and then. It only happens when I'm REALLY upset, or the hormones decide to gang up on me.

69. What a number. You should have been around in 1969!! I was only 14, but I still understood it.

Now 71, that was a good year!!!

confidenticandoit 02/17/2011

I agree. One hair not ok.

Argh, crying at work is my worst nightmare. If I feel it happening I pinch my skin SO hard, try to focus on something else. If I have to I make it to the bathroom or out of there to get some fresh air.

Hehe I wish I was around then.... The music and the change, how exciting!!! I used to always wish I was alive in the 60s or 70s. Woodstock... The beatles!!!!

deleted_user 02/17/2011

hahahaha phoebe you are funny. Oh gosh yes. I hate crying at work. And especially when there are kids around. NOT GOOD!!! We are supposed to be strong and brave and there I am bawling like a baby. THE WORST!!
71. YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!

HUGS

Phoebe13 02/17/2011

Sam, it was pretty cool. The times were progressive, yet still innocent. A golden age. I was never into the Stones then, but I though Mick Jagger ROCKED at the Grammy's. My husband went to Woodstock. I didn't know him then. I'm glad he had those opportunities to be his bad self.

confidenticandoit 02/17/2011

Thanks Alex!!!! Hugs hugs!

Ha Phoebe, that's funny. Getting all the bad out before you met him!

72 day PF.
