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.
My alias on the Trichworld forum is Trish Tolamania, for those who are also active there.
I'm following Sam's (confidenticandoit) advice and literally just sitting on my hand when I'm at the computer, pretty much the only place I pull. Sadly, I'm on the computer 8 plus hours a day, thanks to my job.
I'm also following the unspoken rule of NOT TOUCHING MY HAIR or head in any circumstance.
If I make it through the end of the day, it will be my third day pull free. It will also be the first totally pull free day I've had at the office all year.

I hate the absent minded pulls.
My left hand is not allowed to touch anything above the neck area for the rest of the day!!
Stay strong, you can do this!

CHEWING AND TWISTING MY HAIR IS NOT ALLOWED.....

Sloppy seconds of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only one hair is great.
Soooo tired right now.
but so much more work to do.
Stay tough..
Still fighting urges and finding my hand wandering unconsciously up to my head.
DAY BY DAY!!!!!!!!
It really is a day by day thing. Even when you've gone months and months, there will always be tough days where you barely make it pull free. Sometimes it's such a fine line. But we want to have hair more than we want to pull, and we must remember that!
