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!

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...
Just gotta keep trying and try to recognize those destructive patterns as they're happening. Barriers a couple hrs before bed is really a great idea.
Hugs!
You got this.
I was pull free Saturday and almost pull free yesterday then I pulled a bit at night.
I'm trying a new tactic this week, I'm going to keep my pulling limited to under 50 hairs. So far this morning I have pulled out 15. Pulling 50 hairs a day is a HUGE improvement over pulling 300+ and that way (I'm hoping), every time I pull 1 hair, I won't have reason to think, "great, today is a bust," and just spiral into oblivious mindless.
So technically I am on Day 3 of my Pull Free/Pull Lite campaign. Yay! That feels good! When was the last time I was able to say I was on Day 3 of a pull-free-a-thon? I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER. I hope I will be motivated to make it to the end of the day....
Meaning I am now 3 days "pull lite."
Not bad! Not bad at all!
I will aim tomorrow to keep it under 50 hairs as well.
If I succeed I get to watch a TV episode as a prize......
Remember to watch that tv show with a hat on ;)
I am optimistic that today I can once again remain under 50.
Best wishes, stay strong, you can do this! You can, You can, You can!
Keep at it. We can do this!
I consider this a SUCCESS.
Have pulled like 8 hairs so far today, I still have the goal of making it to the end of the day with less than 50.....
You can do it :)
So I did not meet my goal.
Friday I wasn't very good about counting. I'm hoping it was less than 50?
Today I've pulled 20 hairs and it's not even 10 a.m. Baaad! But hopefully I will exercise more will power for the rest of the day.
Next week my goal is to make it through the whole week pulling less than 50 hairs a day.
I've been getting really strong urges to start smoking again, which is very weird! Last night I almost bought some cigarettes but I couldn't commit to buying a whole pack when I only wanted just one. I don't think I will start again, mainly because I don't want to go through the trouble of trying to quit.... once was enough!! July 21 it will have been 3 years since I quit! Smoking grosses me out now yet somehow I still get urges.
