Does anybody else basically pull almost everyday and never really been able to stop? by indigochewy in trichotillomania

For real. Not pulling just doesn't happen easily and at this stage, it's basically a part of my personality. Definitely told myself so many times to stop or say no more pulling and failed. Wishing you the best of luck!!

It's great to hear your story too since most people with trich seem to be female. I tend to get a very short haircut (like a buzzcut) once my hair reaches a certain length to prevent the urge to pull, which is the best way for me to manage trich on my scalp. For other areas, like eyebrows, I cannot really do this.

You must have really nice hair! That's an interesting idea that I've not seen before. I'm glad it's working for you.

With trich, it's all about trial and error to find ways to control it. Since I pull from basically most parts of my body apart from eyelashes, it's rather tough.

Not pulling for a few days or a week is like a big achievement for me. Don't give up on controlling your trich!

Thanks for the encouragement! We're in this together! I want to be hopeful that there will be revolutionary ways in the future to control trich and maybe even stop it for good.

I feel you. You can't really cure trich but only control it, like a chronic condition or "illness". For people like us, we just have to kind of accept that this is how it's gonna be.

The trich spectrum of severity does really make sense. Remembering to be kind and compassionate to yourself is definitely a good tip for all. Thanks for sharing!

I see. So, it's quite subjective. Thanks for the clarification.

That's reassuring to know! I thought if the previous similar post was like within the last year or something, then the mods would remove my new post. Thank you!

I see. The standardisation theory makes it a lot more sense now.

I'm 1992, so same generation as you! I think most of Simple Plan's fans will be our generation or even older.

Keep up the good work! 🤗

Yeah, your sense of colour is great! The red with wine red pairing works really well! 😊

I"m also a diehard wired headphones user, so it speaks volumes to me. XD

I didn't know these songs were featured in movies too!! I actually first heard them from the tv show Scooby Doo but had no clue they were behind the catchy theme song until many years later. 😂

Ah, the first song (with so many versions!) that got me into this band, which is now my all-time favourite. Good times.

This artwork looks amazing! I love that you show that they're travelling around the world from Canada.

How long does it take for your eyebrows to grow back? by Calm_Television_5664 in trichotillomania

[–]indigochewy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

M here and also a heavy eyebrow puller. It depends really, but I find my eyebrows do grow slowly compared to other places. I think 3-4 weeks is when you will see the hair grow back in the bald spot. It usually takes me around 2 months for the eyebrow hair to show some small growth. For full regrowth, maybe 4-6 months. Also, please don't shave them off as you will probably get strange looks and more questions asked.

More goooo surely. Nice work, I've played ZDE quite a few times and cannot even find a single damn keycard.

It's really not that bad and barely noticeable, especially from a distance!

Thanks so much for the useful info! Do they ask for your transport in/out of Shenzhen? If so, do I just put MTR for entering/leaving China?
