Trich Journal

What I think can help me beat my trich is keeping a trich journal. Writing about this problem, especially in a supportive environment like DailyStrength, helps me come to terms with my impulsions and understand why I do what I do.

We all have or have had some bad habits. I, for instance, used to bite my nails and eat with my mouth open. How did I stop? By being aware every time I did it and correcting myself every time. It would take a while, but then I would never do it again. So why not do the same about my trich? I've tried numerous times to stop and always failed, but I can easily apply the same strategy by just being more serious. Why? Because trich is more serious than any of my previous bad habits! It impacts my life in the worst way and has bad consequences, such as hair pigment loss and self-esteem issues for me.

So I'll try keeping a daily journal about my trich, and upload it here to my profile. I'm going to note every time I pull, where I pull, why I pulled, and miscellaneous trich reflections. I'll also use this data to make graphs and charts about things like where I pull most often and the weekly evolution of my pulling.

I'm fine with anyone reading my trich journal. If you suffer from trich like me, I hope you will be inspired to make a positive change and see that you're not alone. If you're one of the DailyStrengh saints, maybe you could give me tips on how to stop. If you don't and never had trich, sorry to tramautize you, but I don't know why you're reading this.

I'll see how this goes. Hopefully this journal will help me end my trich for good.
