I am posting again. Today I celebrate my birthday and it has been a great day for me. I am celebrating again this year with even more hair than I had last year at this same time and it feels wonderful. I am so blessed to be free of Trichotillomania. Just a suggestion for those out there needing help. Just remember this when you need help to not pull. Change your attitude and it will change your life. You might say that it doesn't bother you if you pull or even twist, but there is something behind the ritual of pulling, twisting or any other ritual you do to yourself that is a constant in your life. You have to first find the root cause for pulling, then monitor your time when you pull. Change your pattern example; be aware of where and when you pull. If you pull from your head, think about keeping your hair really clean, it will cut back on the urges, the tingle you get right before you feel the need to pull. Trichotillomania is an Impulse Control Disorder, so you have to be smarter than this disorder and out wit it, until you have learned to stop, as I did. Happy Holidays and prayers for success to those suffering with this terrible disorder. Wanda H.
And if JG is out there and reads this I hope she is having success at stopping. Well wishes Wanda
