This is just a quick update on the first day of going ‘pull free’. Read my post that I wrote yesterday for more information about why I decided to go pull free. The first day has been a success!
I haven’t been feeling too frustrated in this first day of going pull free. The main problem is catching myself fiddling with my hair and almost pulling it without realising I’m doing it! This is usually the most tiring aspect of going pull free – trying to catch yourself out and stop yourself before you pull.
Apart from that I did have a dream about pulling my hair. Luckily it was just a dream and not real! So far so good.
I hope whoever else is going pull free is also doing well 
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.
Awh Penny! I did that too, I was fiddling and then luckily I caught myself.
Control, control!!
Maintaining that control is just so tiring sometimes!
