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.

(Yes I'm aware that some months are very short, we had a 28 day month in Feb). Anyway, so for the purpose of my pull free, I'm going to count months by groups of 30 days. So by that reasoning I'm 180 days, and 6 months pull free today! (pretty much, argh those 2-3 subconscious probably maybe pulls really irk me).
Well I get to celebrate today by being stressed by money, catching the train around as I have no car access today, and washing dishes at night! Hip hip hooray!
Haha I'm going to watch some tv as a reward and NOT stress about money.
xo
Don't worry, I won't do it!
You definitely should celebrate this
I know I already told you a couple of times, but I’m going to do it once more:
Thank you for being an inspiration to so many of us, you’re wonderful!!
Don't worry about one hair, think about the millions you didn’t pull. It sucks that you have to work tonight, but celebrate it on you first upcoming night off :) And on the train you can show everybody your beautiful hair ;-)
You can do this! Hands down
Go go go :)
Ditto what lientje said about showing off your hair on the train. I'm such a people watcher, and obviously I am obsessed with hair (for better or worse), so I frequently find myself thinking "wow, that lady has such pretty hair". Now you can be that person.
But contrary to Mrs. Kolo, I find wearing mascara helps me avoid pulling my lashes. I don't want to mess up the mascara, or defeat the purpose of the mascara by playing with my lashes, which will inevitably lead to the mascara flaking or rubbing off. I guess that's just part of trich. Everyone is different.
Mrs kolo, great tip, I know it will help me, but I love mascara. My eyelashes are one of my best features.
Ihatetrich, hm that wont work for me, I don't really care about messing my mascara up! Thanks for your support :)
Congrats on 6 months - I hope you had a good celebration :)
Yeah, didn't really experience the urge again today so we'll see. I"m sure it's temporary.
Good for you, urge free sounds wonderful!
You made it six months, hurray!
Stay strong, hands down!
You are an inspiration, in both achievement and attitude. Have some fun, you deserve it.

THANKS PHOEBE! Thank you thank you :) Hmm well I got sick, so that's not fun. Got another casual job as a barista to get more money for Europe (currently working only 30 hrs a week with design work + waitressing, it keepgs going up and down from that, but I could be working 50 or more). Hmm it's my dad's birthday so I'm making my family a green curry from scratch, hope it goes ok.. I have some champagne too in case it doesn't hehe.
Hm so I think I might wrap myself in a blanket and watch some tv for a while, I need to be healthy in 2 days time cos my boyfriend is having a party to celebrate the end of uni (pretty much) and I want to be in the best shape possible so I can party hearty!
