Accountability
The new group effort seems to be helping quite a bit. Both my mother and my sister have been texting me and grilling me regularly- particularly at night and in the morning when the urges are the hardest- and it does help. Admittedly I have slipped twice this week but both times was able to start. During last night's slip I pulled out two prickly little hairs and as I in the midst of a third I got a text from my sister telling me to stop and I did. At least things are looking up, especially since this tends to be the hardest phase when all the little hairs are just stubby and prickly and begging for me to pull them ......

OMG, i do this shit too! I have a freaking bald spot now from where I pulled it all out and i just about pulled all of my eyelashes out. Sucks. Work is just going to get more stressful so i guess i can kiss my eyelashes goodbye, it's weird i don't even know I'm doing it unitl I look down and see my desk covered. Plus My husband is starting to notice. Should be an intersting weekend.
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog and am totally shocked as to how much your posts remind me of myself! I have Trich too, and it's such a hard thing to live with. It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this, and inspiring to see how hard you're working towards stopping...keep up the hard work, and don't beat yourself up over one or two hairs, it will take time but you can do it!
ReplyDeleteDid you take your pictures yet? Just thinking of you! Heidi

How's married life treating you? Just wanted to say hi- I am still struggling with trich as I type this and I was hoping you are doing better than me on this battle we are fighting. I hope the war is over soon!

Hi everyone.. I am so happy, so very happy that I found this blog! Your stories sound just like me!
ReplyDeleteNow that I realize my post will go through, I wanted to add a bit: I didn't realize I had trich, nor have I been 'officially' diagnosed, but I have realized a pattern. The more I read, the more I realize the association with isolation and trich. My eyebrows are all but gone and so are my eyelashes. They hurt when I get stressed out.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that its been a year since someone posted here... I am not familar with how this blog works and I'm wondering if it's still active?
