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.
This is Trish Tolamania from trichworld if you don't know (yes, I wrote the alias trying to be funny).
I had one pull free streak last November/December, the longest one I remember having ever. Checking in with this community was such a huge help, in order to achieve that. In February I started pulling again and, after a few lame attempts to slow it down, I gave up altogether and just started pulling again at will.
Now it's July 1, I am 3 days pull free and I just want to take it DAY BY DAY and get involved in this community again! I hadn't logged in for so long, when I did log in last week, I started crying hysterically. Isn't that funny?
My main goal right now is to reach 7 days pull free, then buy myself some really expensive hair product as a reward. But I know my main reward for stopping will just be FEELING GOOD AND NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT IT SO MUCH!

thank you for the honesty. i can't come to being open with anyone (not even myself) with the rituals i've done after pulling. it brings me a lot of shame. your article punctured a lot of the silence around that. i feel more normal and less weird. i know i'm not in this alone.
how are you doing these days though?
I'm probably going to cry later..... I'm glad my weird little article may have helped others, even in its small anonymous way!
I am pulling like a fucking fiend, but there are a lot of life changes for me up ahead. UGGH! Consider this my first small steps to become active here again. It's going to happen.... IT HAS TO.... I promise.
Well, I was puling out my hair this morning BUT HEY MAYBE THIS AFTERNOON I WILL FINALLY BE PULL FREE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A YEAR.
IT COULD HAPPEN!!!!!!!
Hehe.
