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.

Phoebe mine's crazy too, It's curlier on the bottom than on the top. Fine + curly hair has got to be one of the hardest types of hair to deal with. Damn frizzies. Or damn no volume. Or damn stupid shaped curls.
Granit a teapot in London would be lovely. Ill just pop over and get one tomorrie broo. 200 hugs yippeeeeee!
Mrs Kolo yay you! Unfortunately I don't share your unwavering faith. Hm. Plus I've wanted longish hair for soooo long.
Thanks Mid, best wishes is the best! :) :) :)
Yeah shaved heads look great on some. For me, I doubt it. My nose it too big. I mean, it's not huge, but it's not a button. I think you need a nice nose for a shaved head. HM.
HUGGGGGSSSSS Phoebe
Hehe thanks Kirstin, woohoo. You can be my groupie, and I'll be yours.
Anyway, I'm not saying you should shave your head, Sam, especially after you've worked so hard to achieve so many inches of lovely pull-free growth. But I DO think a shorter haircut, like a chin-length or shoulder-length bob, would look marvelous on you, and it would all be closer to the same length, so it'd be easier to get a good haircut. It's true that it would be harder to hide bald patches, but you're not going to have any bald patches. :)
And you are SO CLOSE to 200 days! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay for Sam being awesome!
Thanks for the compliment Emmy, aw. Hmm I'm thinking more and more about getting a fair bit chopped off. When it's dry and curly it's shoulder length, so it won't take much more being chopped off for it to be short. I will at least get it chopped off to my second longest length of hair, which is probably half way between my chin and my shoulders, a bit longer when straight. (I remember that layer of hair was about 4cm short May last year!) Thanks so much for your lovely post :)
I like cutting my hair - as I feel every trim thickens it and improves the quality. once hair is healthy and growing well it grows so fast too. xx
Congratulations, enjoy!
You’re a true inspiration, keep it up :)
When my trich is bad and my hair is long, I wear it in a pony tail EVERY DAY. So by the time my hair has filled in semi-decently, I am antsy to chop it all off. Unfortunately, the trich is harder for me to control with short hair, so I spend years desperately trying to cover up the trich spots while waiting for my hair to grow long again. But after 200 days, I think you can handle a shorter hairstyle. :)
Yep 200 days pull free!! I'd be more excited if I didn't have to go to work... Ugh. Aaaanyway I'll treat myself tonight when I get home.
:) could not have made it without this group that's for sure. Even though she never visits anymore, I am so grateful to crzychick for starting this group :)
