My pulling is OUT OF CONTROL. I pull in the street, I pull in class, I pull at work. It has never been this bad. I've had trich for the past 12 years and have only managed to stop pulling completely for 3 months back in 2012 when i was a regular poster on this forum.
So I thought I should come back here and read and post and really just try and stay aware of my habits. I love reading peoples posts about how many days pull free they are, at the moment it seems impossible that I could even go 30 minutes pull free let alone 3 months but I know i can! So this post is mostly just for me, as a start to changed habits!!
Any tips feel free to post! I swear I've tried them all and always want to hear new ones.
To all my fellow trich sufferers keep up the good work and focus on the positive!

But if not, I will have to set a new goal.
As for tips on how to stop, I don't have much advice except to keep coming to the forum here, and write in your journal here or in one you just keep at home. Good to get your thoughts out.
I am trying supplements but they are not working it seems.
Good diet, exercise, keeping the hands busy. Being aware of when you go to touch your head ( presuming you pull from scalp) and then stopping yourself.
I wish you well.
