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.

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!
