I've been pull free for 2 or 3 months (I stopped counting) but the past few days have been hard. All I want to do is pull! I keep grabbing a hair and tugging at it and omg it feels good to have that feeling of almost pulling it out but then I let go and I don't pull but I feel like I have to! I came back on here for help! Please help me continue to stay pull free! My current goal is to stay pull free until April 25th. (my birthday)... Please help!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
- This period of strong urges will pass, and I'll be so happy that I DIDN"T give in when it has passed
- I love my hair, I absolutely do not want a bald patch
- I know it will get easier the longer I go, and I need to get through the tough early stages
- The only positive effects will be short term (relief, mild pleasure)
- I LOVE MY HAIR AND HAVING HAIR!!!!!!
Phew, I feel a little better now.
You can do this, one day at a time. I find setting smaller interim goals really helps. Also, visit the beating trich group! I find writing there every day helps a tonne, even if I'm just writing "58 days pull free!". The positive comments help so much.
I'm feeling your pain!
Struggle city!
we will NOT surrender to the urges .. together we can do it !!!
have a great day !
