So.... I feel like I'm just totally backsliding here, and I keep trying to tell myself that I'm not powerless to stop it, that I have control over my own friggin' hands, for pete's sake, but it's not...

Frick! So I was doing well this weekend when I made a discovery: I think, for me at least, trich is a lot like alcoholism. I can't stop at just one. I had several pulling episodes of 50+ hairs, and I...

So. This morning's been rough, but STILL no pulling. That's almost two days for lashes, brows, AND hair! ALL THREE! YAAAAAAAY! sorry. I just get excited.

Sooo... about 24 hours without pulling! YAAAAAAAAY! I've decided that even though some people on here are doing weeks/months without pulling, it's okay for me to do hours/days at first. I need all...

So for a few months, I was doing really well not pulling hair - brows and lashes were still a struggle, but I thought I was really getting somewhere with my scalp. Well, no more. It's like if I pull...

So I haven't technically pulled today, but I've come really, really close. It's so horrible when I'm at work (I have my own office, so it's easy for me to do without anyone seeing), and I just feel...

Well, I had a pf day Saturday (yaaaay!) and ALMOST had one yesterday, but I pulled 15 hairs on the couch when I was watching TV. Today I pulled an eyelash and a hair without realizing it, and I'm not...

For some reason, I'm having a really, really, REALLY hard time getting motivated to quit. I've been on a spree that was so bad after a summer of doing pretty well (only really pulling lashes, which...

So I'm not sure if it's progress, or if I'm just running out of hair to pull, but even my 'bad' day today was not as bad as my 'bad' day a week ago. SCORE!I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get a...

WARNING: this one's super-long. Like, War and Peace long. Fair notice. :)I feel like I'm a lot more contemplative lately, and even though the pulling isn't getting better, I'm hoping that I can fix...

I've always wondered what it would take for me to decide that pulling would no longer be worth it. Would it mean costing me a boyfriend? A friend? My family? Fortunately, I have understanding people...

Sooo... I started law school. Yay. I had three wonderful months where I didn't pull out my hair AT ALL and I had beautiful little eyelashes growing in. And now I want to cry. I can safely say that...

Weeeeell... I kinda feel bad because I haven't re-done my goals, per se, but ever since I tried penalizing myself with money, I've done SO MUCH better on my hair. I've lost $40, but I've only had two...

Well, I pulled three eyelashes this morning. I tried reallllllllllly hard to keep my hands away from my face, but I had a super-bad urge... I guess it's back to square one on those. I only made it 10...

I made it one week! And I don't know if this is normal or not, but mentally it's almost harder to keep from pulling after I reach my goals. It's like my brain goes "okay, you did it. now back to...
