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...
You've got this! Keep it up!
Hugs!
I'm 5 days pull free and it's 7:36pm of day 6!
It's just so ridiculously easy now compared to a week ago! I just kept being aware and trying and I made one day pf. And from there I'd already built up a mini habit of not automatically pulling. Amazing.. The habit portion is pretty big..
Keep it up! Wow, you're doing it! You're doing it! Keep it happening!
Hugs and cheers!
6 days pull free :) I'm finding it so weird how my hand does not automatically go up and pull one out. It doesn't take long :)
congrats on day 6 - thats huge!
almost better than not pulling is the fact that you're in such a good place mental-health wise :)
trich is always a good indicator of that!
:) day 7!
This is cool.
how does it feel?? so proud of you and so happy for you :)
keep at it, one day at a time!
and give yourself a huge hug or a special treat for reaching such a big goal!
I had a great treat! :)
i'm glad you rewarded yourself!
maybe it just means you're at a better/stronger point in your life? oh trich…once again a complete mind game hahaa
Strength, courage, bravery, and awesome work!
