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.

Grrrr urges urges. Keep bringing my hand down from my head. I think I'm stressed tense and guilty about sitting here on the lounge, reading a book and watching tv. I have work contacts to talk to, a portfolio to build, a mess to unpack. But I'm giving myself a break damnit! (ha I deserve it after a 3 month holiday!)

I'm trying to absolutely NOT let myself touch my hair, except in the shower to wash it. Wear a hat or some other barrier if you have to. Come on, let's do this together! Trich can NOT have any more of our hair. Let's be greedy and keep every last strand of it. :)

Oh yeah, you are back, in more ways than one. I can feel it.

Hmm happy to be home? Yes and no. I hate not living with my boyfriend, that won't happen til I get a full time job (I'm kinda picky bout my job). I love that it's summer. I hate the feeling of pressure that I have to get my life started. I love being able to see my friends again. I mostly feel uneasy, I have a plan but everything's up in the air at the moment. Hm I'm sure that was s WAY more complex answer than you were looking for!

Phoebe yes I'm back, back back back. How weird is it that I feel back to "normal" when I got back home. Is it weird? I mean I was on my dream holiday, why was my motivation and commitment down? Someone dissect and explain! I kind of get it.. But it also makes no sense.

Anyway, 4 days pull free!!!! HANDS DOWN.

5 days pull free.

I have to be really careful not to play with individual strands though, it always leads to hairs coming out.

    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...
