Well, the other day, I wrote a little poem thing about what's been going on with my Trich and gave it to my English teacher to read. She started talking to me and I started tearing up so we went for a walk (there's two teachers in the classroom so this didn't matter). She consoled me and gave me simple yet powerful words that anyone can say, but she made it sound like 2000-year old wisdom (i.e. Confucius): We all have our demons. It's been two days and I've been nearly pull free. And I'm about to get my period and I usually pull more around then. I'm praying that this is a breakthrough, and I'm beginning to fight this. I wanted to share because talking to someone (for me anyway) really helped. I'm hoping I can quit this thing cold turkey. Prayers to you all

I think that opening up to someone like that is a great opportunity to make a breakthrough, however it's also something that probably was very difficult for you emotionally, so just be on your guard even more, and use this time to launch off from this platform and fight Trich more than ever before!

I'll keep you in my prayers this week... yes.. that time of the month is extremely difficult when it comes to the pulling as well...

Take care... stay strong...
