Okay, day 1! It seems like keeping track on 43things seems to help so i’m going to give it a try. It’s weird to see how similar everyone’s stories are, like looking for coarse hairs, not realising you’re pulling, blah blah blah. Had a thought though on helping myself not pull at home. I’m going to wear gloves (the dollar knit kind) at home whenever possible. Maybe if I can’t feel the coarse hairs I won’t want to pull so much.

There are just way too many people who have forfeited their right to live I figure. So let’s take’m out people!!! Just kidding, but not really. Seriously though, the death of several pedophiles is not going to hurt society and may just prevent the creation of several new ones. Unfortunately I know I’m one of those people who will always be caught and therefore must remain law abiding :( . Which is also the reason I would never sell marijuana, although it would be sweet if I could.

I’ve found lately that putting a scarf/bandanna over my hair as soon as I get home seems to help. Having it touch my forehead seems to remind me not to pull and when my hand wanders up there it’s like ‘oh yeah, don’t do that.’ Of course the urge does come to take it off to pull now and then which I combat by slapping the top of my head. Not as a form of self-punishment, but just to imitate that slight sting you get when you pull out a hair. I’m also in therapy for it (and other issues, like my ‘high conflict family’ as my therapist puts it), so hopefully that helps too. Too soon to tell just yet though.
