Hi!
Yes,there will be hard days. It's great you're preparing for them.
Did you know I managed to be PF for 109 days a while ago?
It was so easy,but all of a sudden I fell off the wagon.

I try to go to and visit this amazing group at least twice a day. (Before I go to work and before I go to bed.)
You are on a roll girl!!
HUGS

Good for you, Sam!! Just let those PF days roll on...

8 days PULL FREE (yes completely)and onto day 9.

:)

Hugs Alex

that's great 8) getting past that first week mark is really tough 8) congrats!

Yes I think you mentioned that to me before Granit, that's the scary thing about this condition I guess.. It doesn't just go away. Wah! Day 9 and feelin' fine. Hehehe. Do you remember what triggered you to start again after 109 days? Or was it that you felt so good about not pulling for so long you felt it was ok to do it just a little bit, then that turned into a lot?

Phoeobe the PF days are definitely rolling on. I'm staying with my family down the south coast of NSW Australia, spending time in the sun and the surf. Quite relaxed for a change! Lots of idle times so sure to be aware of my hands at all times!

Thanks phrannie :) Fighting trich til the death!

You are doing great!!! Enjoy Australia :-) XOXO!

I'm a little behind. I loved your post about bathing daily..teeehee.
For the time being I work at home also, and have been working doubles for christmas...I can totally relate!

Keep being strong!!

I actually live in Australia lunab! Where I am on holidays is 4 hours from where I live, I'm driving home today unfortunately. I live in the Blue Mountains, have you heard of that region? Where are you all from?

Eep kpratt! My workload has decreased dramatically, now I'm just working on one project. I need to drum up some work for the new year. I'm just beginning my graphic design career, and having a go at the freelance thing.

I'm on day 10. xox!

Hello!
I don't know why I relapsed. But I guess it was because I allowed my hands to play around in my new hair.BAD BAD!!
I have to accept that I cant play or fiddle around, like "normal" people do. Not ever.
Blue mountains sounds beautiful.
HUGS

Hi Granit, Yes I've accepted that too. Not allowed to play with my hair ever EVER ever. I only let myself touch it when I'm washing it in the shower, and styling it before I go out. Have to be really careful when I'm looking in the mirror styling it though, always want to pull out the one sticking out. I will share a tip that works really well for very dark haired people, I put mascara over my thin spots then brush it in, thickens up the hair magnificently (only really works when the hair is pulled back otherwise would look a bit weird I think.

xxx 10 days pull free! On day 11 :)

Uh I had a terrible dream last night, I pulled out so many hairs... Was so glad to wake up this morning and realise it wasn't true!

I've had many of those dreams! They are scary aren't they. Yes, just a dream!! :)

HUGS

Indeeeeeed feck! Hehe It's weid, cos when I really want to talk to people, you are all sleeping. As I'm in Australia and you are all way away..... In America and Sweden and such, with the time difference etc. Right now I have been drinking.. And have just arrived home. Of course this is my first port of call. Does that make sense? Is that a saying? Do you all get SUPER STRONG urges while drunk? I do, because my guards are down down down. So I have to be super aware when drunk, which is annoying. But yeah thems the breaks. Love you Alex! I wear my gloves at night cos I've had two dreams now that I've pulled, and the first time I didn't know if it was a dream or real.... But the gloves make me so hot!!! Like sweaty hot. Even though they are so thin......... xxxxxxxxx love you all.

Would you prefer I put a photo of myself on here? I might. The illustration I have on here is a self portrait I painted myself. As I'm an illustrator, that's why I have a paintbrush in the illustration. And I always wear my hair in a bun cos of damn trich trich bastard. No fair cos I have naturally curly hair that people like to touch. And I have to say "ahhhhh don't like people touching my hair sorry".

Hahaha YOU AREN'T ALONE!! We are ALMOST in the same time zone. Almost. I'm in Taiwan and I am a night owl. :P

What were you drinking? I don't know about that. Not a big drinker myself BUT when I am very tired, my guard is down and i want to PULLLLL. The urges are V strong then. Maybe being tired and drunk are linked. lol. Isn't it tiring to have to keep your guard up ALL THE TIME!! EVEN WHEN DRUNK! sigh. it's ok. Our goal is hair so I WILL DO ANYTHING!! lol

That is a self portrait?? YOU ARE SO CUTE!!! It's a great illustration. People just randomly touch your hair? I don't even remember what that is like. lol

If you look back a few (ok maybe more than a few) posts, I wrote about my first very scary trich nightmare. I know how you feel. COLD SWEAT! ANXIETY!! all mixed together. I felt like I was being chased by a hungry wolf. My heart was beating so fast! Just keep telling yourself, ONLY A DREAM!!

HUGS
