I pulled maybe two more hairs this week. Could be better. But it could be (and has been!) much worse.

Doing fair. Have had some ramdom moments of a single hair pull here and there this week but doing ok in general and keeping my cuticles happy.
Be gone most of the weekend and into next week. Stay sweet!

Welcome snowjester! How are you doing?
I pulled 2 hairs last week, out of nervousness. :( But since then I've been good.

Welcome, welcome to Snow! Glad you found us. Wishing you the best. Glad to hear from you, too, Haus! Hope the rash is better by now. I'm doing good with hair and specially good with cuticles. Trying my best to just go ahead and spend the money for manicures every two weeks!

Wow, raining must make it harder to think of activities for such a large number of people? Good job, racking up over 10 000 steps!
I am still doing good. I have got the worst rash (maybe an allergic reaction to something?) all over my upper body, including my scalp. It's itching pretty bad, so it's hard not to have my fingers in my hair right now. Ugh!

Hey! We work with a church camp located in the middle of a big Brazilian lake. We host spiritual retreats for local groups mostly. This weekend we are taking a group from the local reservoir/electric company for a fun trip. I am usually in charge of the buying and meal planning... www.ilhadotesouro.com is our site if you have a min to see some pics.
I'm going good on all counts this week!

Hey there, Haush! Home between retreats here. January is our biggest month since everyone is on vacation and out of school here in Brazil. We have 5 retreats in 6 weeks with the first and second all done, three more to go ending with Carnaval in February.
Hard to get much else done between retreats except laundry and a little rest, but doing okay with trich stuff. Got my nails all done this week.

A little zapped from the heat this week and bad nights of sleep with a neighbors yapping puppies but off to the island after our church service tonight to spend the night and work tomorrow. January is our biggest month of retreats starting with New Years. Lots to do to get all ready.
Take care ya'll! Be back in a day or so.

I believe you can get back on track again!

Well, I made it to 155 days before I gave in & pulled because I felt I had exhausted my means of coping. Over 5 months! Can't complain there, as that's the longest I've gone since I started pulling back in 4th grade. Have pulled a few hairs each day the past few days, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to try being pull-free again yet. I'm definitely controlling it so I'm not going on pulling sprees like I would before. I know my count is restarting, but that doesn't mean I have to undo all of the hard work I've done over the past 5 months! I love my hair that's coming back in!

Still doing well here--sounds like we're on a roll around here! Found out one of the girls I used to teach & whose mom I still keep in contact with has trich, so mom's asked me to talk with her about my experiences. It's an honor to be able to help out girls when I know how hard it was going it alone when I was their age, not knowing anyone else did what I did. I'm so glad what was hard for me can make it easier on someone else.

How brave of you to post a trich blog post!
I was thinking of posting something on FB for trich awareness week, but I didn't...
I've been doing pretty well. Not completely pull free, but almost. Maybe pulled 3 hairs this week. I'm trying to be OK with that.

But I resisted, and today I am 100 DAYS PULL-FREE! I can't believe I made it to triple digits! Rewarding myself with a collectible action figure I've had my eye on--gotta let out the inner child sometimes ;-)

Here's what TLC has on their page about trich awareness week: www.trich.org/involved/ntaw.html It's really all about what you want to do! I usually change my facebook picture to the one they have on their page, and I post different youtube videos & online articles. I figured this year I'd post one of the articles about Olivia Munn having trich that came out a couple of months ago one day, and there are always great videos to find on youtube. One of my favorites is by beckie0--if you search "trichotillomania" in youtube, it's the first video that pops up. I can relate to EVERYTHING she says/does in that video.
As for being pull-free, still going strong! I believe today is day 85. I can't believe I've made it this far! Had a few close calls again today, but I manage to keep telling myself NO, you don't have to pull that hair!
Happy Friday eve!

Hi team! Sorry for not popping in more often. I've been busy at work and not as active at SP as I used to be...
I am about 3 weeks pull free! I think my old record was 28 days, so I hope I can break it. I honestly don't feel any strong urges to pull right now, so it's been easy. Of course, that might change easily in the next weeks.
I didn't know Trich Awareness week existed! I might root for it on FB if I'm feeling brave. Do you have any links to info sites or is there any "campaigning"going on on FB sites?

Still doing well here--had some close calls where I REALLY wanted to pull, had the hair in my fingers, and managed to decide no, pulling this hair will not make me feel better, so I'm not going to pull it. Phew.
I'm excited for trich awareness week the first week of October--I plan on bragging all over my facebook about how long I've been pullfree :-) And I love educating my friends about it--every year, I post an informative video or article every day for the week, and I invariably have friends who say hey, I've never heard of this before, thanks for spreading the word! Or I find friends who have relatives with trich, or who have trich themselves, and are grateful to find someone who understands. I hate trich, but I love trich awareness week!

That usually happens to me 3 or 4 times a week, HAUSHINKA. I don't count that as a pull if I didn't try to make it happen. People naturally lose about 100 hairs a day, so that was just one of those 100! Still pf here, too.

Stressful week (teacher work week before school starts on Tuesday), so I've been playing a lot more than normal, but still 57 days pf. Lots of toys at my desk to keep me busy while I'm doing work there!

Oh HAUSHINKA1! Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Been there twice before I gave birth to three boys in a span of five years! Get some fiddling things and do your best!
I'm okay with my hair and having a long stretch of success, but still having problems in the area of nipping on my cuticles. Working on it!
Super September to all!

51 days--teacher workdays start in earnest next week, so I'm bracing myself for the increased stress. Getting my toys ready for my left hand for when I'm sitting at my desk doing work!

I've been going through some extreme emotional turmoil the past weeks (had my second miscarriage in 2 years of unsuccessfully trying to have a baby), so I've been pulling like crazy, to be honest.
Eventually I hope to get back on the wagon. I'm 1 day pf today.

Yeah, been a quiet week on this thread! I'm at 38 days pf today. Lots of little hairs coming in & driving me crazy, but I'm dealing with it because I can't wait to style my hair however I want to again!

Hello! Had a good week hair wise but found myself chomping on my cuticles a good bit yesterday! UGH!

I'm doing good. I agree that just playing with hair is not bad, but for me it was always the beginning. I am doing good now in part cuz I decided to just keep my fingers out of my hair. Feeling for a perfect hair to pull is temptation to do it. It's hard for me to play and not pull
Wishing all a good August!!!

THEEXERCISER: I agree with HAUSHINKA1. I still play with my hair occasionally, but if I don't pull any hairs completely out, I call it a successful day.
Speaking of successful days, I'm on day 28 pf now! Little hairs coming in everywhere & starting to drive me crazy, but I'm staying strong.

THEEXERCISER: I think only you can decide that. I still "play" a lot with my hair, even though I'm trying to avoid it. As long as I don't actually pull loose a hair from my scalp, I count it as a successful day. I have to admit I only count scalp pulling so far. I occasionally pull eyelashes, but that doesn't bother me so I don't care.
I'm 5 days pf.

I have been under a lot of stress lately due to my health. Because of the stress did a lot of rubbing yesterday. Should I consider the rubbing the same as pulling?
FORUM: 
TOPIC: 
pull free. Night time is when my urge usually gets bad. I have an event in a few months and I want to have some eyelashes by then.
