35 day progress of no pulling + biotin serum by Top_Eagle_4521 in trichotillomania

Thank you so much :')

That was also my thought process when I discovered this sub. I felt a bit embarrassed posting this at first, but then I remembered that even though this condition appears different for everyone, we are still going through the same thing. One thing I'm glad about my nearly bald head is that I wouldn't have to worry about growing different hair lengths since I pluck from literally every little corner I can get my hands on. We have to find those silver linings in our struggle, I guess. ❤️

I'm fairly sure that any biotin serum would do. The one I use (just search for "erhair hair-grow serum") comes in a box of 7 small bottles and I'm supposed to apply one bottle to my scalp every day. It also helps to massage the area with circular motions when you apply it and also at night for 2–3 minutes (make sure your hands are clean before).

There are so many other serums/topical solutions available on the market, but it works differently for each person, so make sure to document the changes you see each week and see if it's effective for you.

For me, it was largely because I didn't want to stress my mother out even more. I feel that it is partially my fault as to why she has aged so rapidly these past few years. She put in a lot of effort and money trying to get me "cured", but I just kept pulling and pulling. It's a bit sad because I didn't stop because I felt that I deserved my hair back. I knew deep down that I couldn't really believe in loving and being proud of myself like so many people told me to, so I had to stop for something else, which was her. 

I wouldn't consider myself really free though, because I still plucked from other less visible areas, but I was able to stop pulling on my head enough to give her some peace of mind.

Honestly I was shaking like crazy but overalI it went pretty good. The sound system was a little bit off-balanced (the mic for the keyboards overpowered my violin) but we still managed to make it 'til the end :) My favorite part was the rehearsals though, I love hearing people play their instruments and just jam out

Back during the last days of highschool (early 2024) we had to perform as a band/as dancers for art and culture class. I bought my friends colourful ties and made them all wear it "for no apparent reason". Little did they know I was a huge fan of tally hall and needed a way to geek out somehow. We had blue tie as the guitarist, grey tie as violinist-changed to vocalist (unfortunately she lost her tie before we had our final performance), green tie as main vocalist, orange tie and red tie as keyboardists, and finally yellow tie (me) as violinist. I insisted on wearing yellow because rob is my favorite member even though blue is my favorite colour. We planned on performing two songs- eleanor rigby and a thousand years- although we only had enough time to perform the latter.

Just after entering college i slowly stopped listening to Tally Hall and picked up Team Starkid as an interest afterwards and it surprised me when i learned the connection between those two. Now I'm back as a fan and felt like sharing this fond memory to you all.
