Relapses suck :(
I don't understand. When I joined this site I made a mental promise to myself to stop pulling and actually made it a good 30 days. I was sooooo proud of myself. Ever since I broke down from emotional stress I can't stop. My eyebrows have huge gaps in them now and look like absolute crap. I just can't seem to get myself back in the mindset of not pulling again. The urges have come back in full force and I'm really upset with myself. Those 30 days showed that I can do this, but I can't seem to regain control and it's making me miserable again. I've totally let myself down. I really need to snap out of this :(

I know exactly how you feel! I did great on my 30 day goal too and then I went on a complete bender one day because of anxiety. Now, even though the anxiety has eased up immensely, I am still playing with my hair a LOT and pulling 3 or 4 hairs a day. I feel pretty good that\'s it\'s nowhere near where it used to be, but I still feel like crap that I can\'s just be totally pull-free like I was for that 30 days!! I\'m right here with ya. I\'m just started over each day trying to get through that one day, not worrying about what I did yesterday or what might be coming tomorrow. Keep plugging away - I think we are both just being reminded that this really is something we\'re going to have to deal with, in one way or another, forever. :( SUCKS!!!! But you\'re not going through it alone....
