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.
Two days pull free.

I don't really know how to label this but I having a rough week and I can't say it's one thing.... I have a lot on my plate which is nothing new and I try to cope in many positive ways and do but I still have my moments.My kids more so my daughters talk to me about everything which I know it's cause of comfort and we are close.... however I really struggle with the venting about their dad which...

Eew sound like a terrible hangover.. I also drink a lot of water before I go to sleep, it can do miracles!! I put a bottle of water on my pillow or right next to my bed before I leave, that way I don’t forget ;-)
You are doing amazing as always :) keep it up!

Ah yes the water before going to bed after drinking is great. I used to always do it, and I still will if I remember. But I don't really remember going to bed! Oops. I can't believe how sick I was the next day... I did drink a bottle and a half of wine though..
138 days pf! If my calculations are correct, which they probably are not. I counted the days on my calender but I always seem to get it a day or two wrong. I thiiiink I'm right though. Meh, 2 days til I'm 8 months pull free! (technically.. I mean my "anniversary" is on the 7th, but I subtracted a day off my count in the beginning cos I pulled one hair subconsciously). Wow, 8 months is INSANE!!! I can't believe that I've managed to stay pull free til my trip to Europe. Well I know I still have two more weeks til we go, but I'm sure I'll make it. TWO WEEKS! I have SO much to do in that time, eeeeep. I'm getting my haircut next week, I'll book the app tomorrow. Yay! Really hope it's not ugly, or worse, ugly plus too short to put into a ponytail.
Hm not much going on, I quit both my jobs, ahhhhh feels good to get it out of the way. The place I'd been working out since pretty much the beginning of the year reacted well, the place I've been working at for only a couple of months did not really. Apparently I was their new superstar. Ah well. Still, feel like it's bad karma, gotta even it out!
Congratulations! Stay strong, hands down!
Massage in the shower, I'm going to try that tonight myself!
Keep it up!
I bet your will look fantastic ;)
I didn't look at the hairs, I dropped them. they weren't in my normal pull zones. They didn't hurt, but didn't feel great. But they felt more good than not good. Um, yeah. I won't be touching my hair again today, or if I do I'll stop right away.
Hmm it was naughty. I don't know! It wasn't like I thought, "I'm going to pull this hair" and I did. It was more subconscious. I was looking for a parking spot and stressing out cos I was running late. I think this is an incident I should remember.. But I don't really want to reset my pf count. But I'm going to start adding up my pulled hairs (not ones that just come out when playing). I think I've pulled out maybe 4 in my pf time.
So I'm 140 days ppf
4 hairs pulled.
I think that's ok.. I mean 4 hairs in 8 months. I don't want to start allowing myself a hair every now and then. not at all. If anything, what happened today has made me more determined than ever to be 100% pull free. However I think it would be totally counterproductive to reset my pull free at this point, over a few hairs that I could count on one hand.
It's just a reminder to stay ever vigilant, and to remember that "just one" is NOT OK!
I like your idea of just adding up the hairs. That way, you're still accountable for them, but you don't have to start your pull-free all over again (which would suuuuuuck, just for 2 hairs).
And hooray for constant vigilance! And for 8 months! You're awesome, Miss Sam! :)
Yeah I agree, especially as they weren't 100% conscious pulls. They were pretty subconscious. I'm only really counting the first one as a pull, the second one pretty much just came out while playing. Still a no no though!
You’re doing amazing, I’d say “you can do this” but you’re actually doing this :)
You are in control, you go girl!
Hands down, stay strong, you're doing it, keep on doing it!
Did you get rain at your place today? Shame to end the amazing springy streak but it was quite nice being rugged up inside looking at the rainbows :)
Huge congratulations on 240 days! Freakin' awesome!
