stop pulling my hair

I moved out of my dad’s house about a year ago and i pull less now. But when i get super stressed i end up making up for lost time. i’m trying though… It’s becoming more noticeable to my family. But at least my patches are all filled out. I’m trying to be more calm and relax I try to ride my bike around to keep my hands busy. I’m also trying to do some crafts, make my hands work and possibly make some money lol

i tried volume control shampoo to give my hair some sort of fake thickness… but instead it made it look like a bad frizz day :(

well i was gently just stretching a hair to avoid pulling … u then it came out !!! OH NO!!! 11 DAYS DOWN THE DRAIN!!!! :( Then after that 2 more hairs got pulled!! :( ugh … i’m trying to control myself from touching anything not curling my hair around my finger or tugging or stretching or feeling of any kind of hair !!!

this is really helping me … just writing about it on here and knowing people support me :) it’s nice … i don’t get that from my own family … they just tell me if i want to stop i should stop like if it’s so easy. It feels nice that i haven’t pulled my hair for a while … i feel more confident in doing things.. today i was completely stressed … but i didn’t pull out a single hair … and i thought … the future doesn’t look so dark anymore :)

its the early morning of my fourth day … does it count if i accidentally yanked one out ? it got stuck on my zipper on my sweater :( so technically my zipper yanked it out…so it doesn’t count right ?

i found this site not too long ago and it inspired me to stop pulling out my hair. my hair is now 1/3 of what it use to be … because i started pulling out my hair since i was 14 i am now on to 22… i become insecure when my boyfriend runs his hands through my hair … i don’t want him to feel that there is hardly anything there. Today is my second day of not pulling my hair. I hope to stop all together one day. it made me feel better to know that i am not the only one. wish me luck… i’m gonna need it :)
