It will beat you if you let it

Q

have you ever tried making paper cranes? they are by no means a 100% solution but i find it helps me keep my fingers occupied when i get the urge to pull/pick. the smaller the crane the better. i went through most of high school with a little box of origami paper in my bag just in case. internet hugs xx

Q

How long have you stopped pulling for? If you have that is.. I've pulled since 7th grade, and I honestly couldn't tell you why.. I do it whenever I'm bored. I'm a junior in high school now, and it's starting to get worse. I just feel like there's no hope left. And I just need advice I guess :/

I’ve been pulling on and off for years, I’ve never completely stopped pulling, I only reduce how much I pull. I know it’s hard, keep battling on and you’ll do it. There is hope, never think that they’re isn’t.

If you need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to talk to me! I've relapsed over and over for years and Im finally at a healthy place. I'd love to talk to you if that's what you need. Trich is so difficult to deal with, and it helps to talk to someone who's been through it. You're a strong person! Dont forget it! <3

It breaks my heart when people I love, my family, tell me "Oh Aubrey, it can't be that bad, you don't have any bald spots. Just give it a rest. We're not buying into your games.You're FINE." I just want them to feel the way I feel, for one day. Then maybe they would understand. Yes,I have hair. But it's not the long, thick, blond hair I had before all of... this. I'm so close to shaving it all off. But I would feel like I lost. Like trich won, and I've been defeated. I need help. I'm scared.

I’ve had all the same things said to me by my family and it is pretty annoying that they don’t see the damage it does to you. Don’t let trich win, you’re better than that.

Q

I have just recently found something called the Trich Stop System and it's been really helpful. First I read the book 'How to Stop Pulling Out Your Hair' that I found on Amazon and then I go the Trich Stop Hair Growth Oil. It's really, really helped me and I'd love to share it with other Trichsters. I had pulled for over 30 years, but with the behavior modification and the soothing of the oil I have gradually become pull free. Finally some good news to post about! I recommend you mention it.

Hey, I’m 14 and I think I’m trying to beat trich since I’m 11.
I don’t really remember why I started, maybe I was bored? I wish I could stop. Nearly everyone at school likes me, but there are moments when they are just laughing about me because I don’t have eyebrows and eyelashes, I’m really embarrassed then, I don’t quite know what to do and what to say. My mother noticed it too, but when she asked what I did, I was like: “It’s not you’re problem! Leave me alone!”.
There’s only one person I told a little bit about my problems, it’s the boy I’m really, really in love with. He’s not in love with me, that hurts. He wants me to stop, but I don’t think that he’s really interested in my worries, even if he says he hopes I will get better soon. It’s my biggest wish to get beautiful eyelashes and eyebrows, I would do everything for it. I’ll try to stop from now, I hope it will work. it would be nice, if I could submit you some of my worries sometimes. Sorry if you noticed some mistakes in my text, I’m German…

P.
