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...
for something exciting, you could promise yourself an at-home haircut at day 120 or something!
or just getting some reallllly nice hair products to use as long as you're pull free!
Thanks firante, I have been rewarding myself with online shopping. I have bought 4 pairs of boots in the last 2 weeks!!! Can you believe it!? They're are all second hand on etsy. Oh etsy! Now the wait.... 3-4 weeks. Wah!
Thanks mid for the happy dance.
10 more days until I'm 4 months pull free. The count is on.
Hurrah!
I like the charts and lists and writing out everything. You're so right about it not being a worry then.
110 days!
Hm having nothing new to report except 111 days pull free. Will be trying some new things soon, like shampoos, whey powder etc. Hopefully will have some results for you!
Exciting news to those of us who are still at the beginning, and knowing it's possible to dream of the wonderful world of hair, keeps us going!
Cheers and best wishes with trying new things!
I dream of hair too..
xoxoxo
You can do this!
Thanks Phoebe :) 114 days pull free. Wow! Well it's my birthday tomorrow so I'm just going to enjoy this weekend and not really think much about trich (but I'll still be aware as always).
Thanks Firante! Haven't wanted to pull out my hair for the past few days so that's been nice.

probably one of the best gifts you can get is just knowing that you are beating trich one day at a time!
