Pulling Out Hair – Trichotillomania Blog

Hi everyone! You may have noticed that I find it quite difficult to keep up to posting at this blog, and answering the many questions that people leave me. With that in mind, I’ve decided I’m going to make a few changes around here. For a start, I’m going to organize the content so that it’s [...]

Hi everyone, I recently moved house, so things have been even quieter around here than usual. The last couple of months have been very stressful, and very busy. Weirdly, I sometimes think the busyness stops me pulling, but then sometimes it makes me pull more again. I hope to catch up with comments and emails [...]

I wish I had more time to update this blog. Some of the comments I get here are really amazing, and they make me so glad that I started this blog back in 2008. I seem to get more and more visitors all the time and if it can help people know they’re not alone [...]

Sometimes I honestly do think that it could be so easy to stop pulling out my hair. Why? Because I just don’t have any urge to do it. Sometimes days could go by and I barely even think about it – until I stop to notice that I haven’t pulled at all lately.

There may be a lot of things I don’t like about my hair, but when I think about it there are also things I do like. I’m sure there’s at least something you like about yours, too.

Have you ever had this feeling? I get it from time to time. It’s not because my trich is so bad that I have bald patches I want to cover up – I only have thin patches that I don’t think others would notice.

I know that trichsters will understand what I’m talking about when I say that sometimes you just don’t care about pulling. This means that I know I’m pulling, I even know that it can have unwanted effects on appearance or concentration, yet I don’t care so just carry on doing it.

I just wanted to let everyone know I haven’t forgotten you, or this website. I have been very bad at keeping up with things, and in the meantime a number of comments have built up here. I’m just replying to them one by one now.

If you’re wondering why the site is looking the way it is – please just bear with me while I sort out a new theme
