Looking for A Trichotillomania Cure?

by on 20. Apr, 2009 in Living With Trichotillomania

I wrote a post recently about whether there was such a thing as a trichotillomania cure. There is no definitive cure, though there are many things that people do to help them stop pulling hair. However, I don’t think it’s a good idea to look for a ‘cure’ – rather a way to make the [...]

Pulling Eyebrows – Why Do I Do It?!

by on 06. Apr, 2009 in Personal Stories

Since many people find my site to help answer the question of why they pull their hair, I thought I should mention pulling eyebrows.

Comments I receieve on this blog are always interesting to read. They are usually from people who understand the struggle, but who also offer their own wisdom as to how we can stop pulling out hair.

I have not been aware of Flickr for that long, but a few days I realised there was a trichotillomania group. I know how difficult it is to look at photographs of myself with bald patches, which is why I think it is inspirational that people post their own photos online. It is a great [...]

Pull Free!

by on 02. Feb, 2009 in Personal Stories

I went pull free for one week. I actually pulled one single hair. I did it without realising, but since it was just one I still count it as pull free I found it very hard for one of the days. My hands would not keep still. I just couldn’t concentrate. I can’t even remember [...]

by on 26. Jan, 2009 in Personal Stories

I have decided to try and go pull-free again. I have only recently really focused on going pull-free. My last attempt was not successful, though I did manage to go pull-free for a week early in December. I am aiming for weeks at a time, since I feel that going pull-free requires a lot of [...]

When You Don’t Realise What You’re Doing…

by on 23. Jan, 2009 in Personal Stories

Going on holiday, for me, is a great way to help with trichotillomania. In fact I barely pulled any hairs – and didn’t want to pull any – the whole time (as far as I can remember) except for the very last day when I was feeling a bit more tired and a bit more [...]
