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.

confidenticandoit's PULL-FREE-A-THON

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.

Thank firante!!!! If it wasn't for people here being pull free, and others I'd heard of, I don't know whether I could have done it. So I'm glad to be an inspiration to you :)

Kirstin!!!!!!! You're back!!! Hehehe, yes please, drink to that! I will tomorrow night.

Ughhhhhhhhh I predict I'll be working a 14-15 hour day today, done 8 hrs, 6-7 to go. Blech. When it rains it pours, when the sun shines it burns.

xx LOVE!

You are also an inspiration to me as well! It's so motivating to see you girls being so successful. You are such a strong person. I can only hope to be half as strong as you & the others... soon enough. :)

Glad to hear that you are happy & busy with work. But definitely keep up with the clean diet & exercise. We all know that it is a tremendous help for us!

Have a great day & yay for 93 days!!!

Thank 4everfree! I didn't feel very strong last night, was playing with my hair so much. One came out without me pulling on it, and that was a bit of a wake-up call. Argh!!! The majority of my pull free has taken place during summer, with a very minimal to non-existent workload. So now my workload is back to normal/crazy again, it's definitely a lot harder. I think I really need to take your advice and keep up clean diet and exercise, maybe also take up yoga and meditation.

Thank you Granit as always :) Thank you for my hands down reminder. I really do need to be reminded!!!! All the time!

Thanks Phoebe - hehe us us designers are expected to perform miracles in miniscule amounts of time. Trust me there was lots of playing with my hair though.... argh.

Hugs hugs hugs 93 days pf :)

You are sooo close to 100 days Sam!!
I have to remind myself all the time, I played a lot yesterday and was so tempted to pull. I need to get my gloves back on. Yoga and meditation sounds good!
Hugs.

Hehe well I went to a party last night, that was pretty fun! I have learned to balance my life pretty well. I don't deprive myself of sleep or social activities, I did that for years when I was studying and I'm not keen to do that again.
