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.

Wow 2013 not a great year for pulling. I kept on trying though!
In both 2010 and 2011 I started long pfs in December. I think I find it easier to be pull free during the summer. I think I found it hard during the summer of 2012 because it was a really hard time.
Amazing. As always, I think "why is NOW different?" I think it's a combination of many things. Calming exercises, support, not obsessing over amounts pulled. Focusing on the positive I guess.
Ok blah blah blah I'm off to do some Christmas shopping. Will need lots of calming exercises during and after!
3 days pull free! :)
Stay strong!
Day 5 going quite well. Have resisted many urges to play with my hair.
