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.

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...
Hi mrs k! Thanks so much! Did have a good day 29, but I think it was the hardest day of my pf, apart from day 1. I think I need to wash my hair. I was dying to pull several hairs. My fault for letting my hands up there to begin with!
btw just seen you got married CONGRATULATIONS!!! how is married life? xxx
Thanks! It's pretty much exactly the same as non married life :)
29 days pf!
Tomorrow its 30.
The next day its one month pf!
I used to do a percentage thing, but that got too OCD-ish, especially if you have to backtrack. Well, it is the start of a new year... could be interesting. I just know that when I'm on a streak, I can't understand why it was so difficult to not pull, and when I'm pulling, I don't know how I'll get through the day. You just have to get over that hump. Clean hair helps a lot, which reminds me......
Celebration time!
Do something special for yourself.
Manda - yes 30 days today and one month tomorrow! Yaaay.
Thanks Jesden. The praise makes it totes worth it ;)
Thanks Mid! Love my cheerleader!
Thanks Nabby. Yes indeed. I will get my reward tomorrow or Thursday night. Tonight I might give myself a mini reward though.
Stress, I'm going to find a method that works for all of us to naturally relieve those pesky symptoms that add to this project!
Here's to success, whatever path it takes!
Enjoy your celebration, and more so, enjoy your tresses just as they are!
You are awesome!
Also, I'm seeing improvement with my hair. It looks good when dry. I still have 3 small thin patches, and a chunk of short hair, on my crown. But I'm proud of myself. Because even though it's totally obvious my hair is thin/a little bald on my crown/front of head when wet, I've gone swimming in public (putting my head under water) twice in the past week! I was just thinking "f*** it! No one is looking at me, and if they are who cares!"
