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...
ahhaha mullets are strange-agreed hahah
wow! no urges?? thats amazing!!! you're such an inspiration!!!!
Hands down, keep busy, earn all the extra money to make this holiday even more special!
Thanks Phoebe :) So nice to read that. The more I learn about myself, the better chance I have of remaining successful.
Thanks Mid! I really should take your advice, hands down and staying busy to make more money! I know I could be working more. I'm doing 40hrs roughly a week waitressing (I know, WTF!!) and maybe 5hrs designing. I could be doing more. WAY more.
Ugh I have a cold sore today, apparently they come out at times of stress. I don't feel particularly stressed today but I know I was last week so perhaps that's it. Booooo!
:-)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful design for my goal sheet improvement! It works, it works, it works! Your talent is awesome!
Hands down! Keep busy, you can do this! Hurray, almost to the six month mark!
Eep about cold sore in your mouth.. I'm calm, I'm cool! Relaxing til the afternoon when I gave to go to work at one of the cafes I'm at (the slightly evil one) and ve in charge for the first time. It will be fine I'm sure...
162 days pull free! Madness!
*be in charge
1am, time for beds I think! Just wanted to check in here and see if there was any action.
My hair is looking gorgeous.... Well it's still a disaster, as it's currently 4 lengths, I really must post a photo so you can see what I'm talking about. But I can see what it's going to look like soon, it's so thick (for me!) so shiny... I look like a different person but completely the same. Hm. Looking at my hair in the mirror and appreciating it really helps. I say to myself "I did this, I made my hair this beautiful. I must be strict with myself so I can keep my beautiful hair."

Hurray for you to keep busy!
Not a disaster, just beautiful!
Hurray!
Keep doing what you're doing!
