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 [...]

You CAN Stop Pulling – A Comment I Received
I have been a little slow to reply to my comments lately and am just going through them now. But I noticed a particularly inspiring one from Maddison which I wanted to draw your attention to: I have a similar problem where I pick at my skin. I had a teacher tell me that your [...]
Do You Ever Think It Could Be Easy to Stop Pulling Out Hair?
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.
What I Like About My Hair
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.

Thanks for All the Support
I just logged in to find so many comments to approve, and noticed that I hadn’t posted for a month. It makes me sad that I can’t post as often as I did – the truth is that I’m always so busy with work these days.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I talk to someone else who pulls hair out, I feel as if I instantly have this connection with them. I’m not trying to be cheesy or emotional, but this is something that I genuinely feel.
Pull Free Day 5
I didn’t post yesterday, but that doesn’t mean I have failed in my challenge. Still pull-free! Although I did have a good pick at my split ends. I don’t like doing that – it makes my eyes hurt from focusing on little hairs for ages! Something else I need to work on…
Pull Free Starting Today
Recently, I’ve been pulling my hair a bit more and, to be honest, I haven’t been bothered about it. This might sound like a good thing, but really I am bothered deep down. And deep down I know that if I don’t care, I’ll pull and only make things worse. This is why I decided [...]
About This Blog
My name's Penny, and I started OnTrich (a trichotillomania blog) to try and raise awareness about hair pulling, and also as a way to help me deal with my own pulling. I'm a 23 year old girl from the UK and I've been pulling for 13 years. Get in touch if you want to chat or need any help - I love meeting people here.
