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!

Feeling good about things.
I know WHY, though. It was because I was TIRED and over-caffeinated. Today I need to not drink coffee after 4 p.m. and get to bed at a reasonable hour like 10 pm.
Today if I am pull free AND if I finish this piece of work I have to do, I will reward myself with a TV episode....
Think of all the pull free days you have had lately! You're still doing well.
Pull free yesterday YAAAY!
Hoping I can make it to the end of today pull-free but I am getting ANXIOUS! UGH!!
At least it is hot now. I will probably be spending the next six months with my hair tied up in a bun. I hope that will help my PF efforts!
Ok let's go Day 2..... only
But not a lot of hair, I don't think it was more than 50.
Man........
Mostly pull free yesterday but I broke down at 3 a.m. (I was up working late) and pulled like 35 hairs.
Pretty good considering when I've done that kind of late-night-work in the past I would just pull MINDLESSLY.
Not happy with my bald spots -- it seems when I pull now, it's always from this itchy coin-sized spot on the crown of my head. As opposed to the mindless pulling when I pulled everywhere.
Whatever, I just slap some Toppix onnit and be on my way.
I'm like a dead woman. I hate staying up late trying to finish work. I can't function the next day. It was my own fault for not planning my time better. Which just makes me feel bad about myself. UGH! I'm so going home at 5.30 pm and falling into bed.
Those late night marathons suck. I shudder thinking about it. Ripe for hair pulling. Try to break that cycle. That is a tough one. I sympathize.
