Always a Struggle

Posted in personal struggle, tools for trich, triggers on February 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

You pullers know all about it.  One day you do really well and the next day, things are bad again.  It gets to be a frustrating circle.  One day it seems easy to not pull and you’re thinking “if it stays like this it should be so easy to be pull free.”  But then the [...]

Rough Week

As you might have noticed, I haven’t posted much lately.  I’ve really found myself struggling with my mood lately and so it is hard to post when I feel I’ll just be complaining.  We’ve finally had a couple days of sunshine, and I think that has helped a little.  I’m still trying to get a [...]

I think I might have finally gotten through the worst of this virus that I had.  Unfortunately as the result of sleeping a ton, hardly eating anything for days, and spending way too much time on the couch resting, I also have gotten back into pulling more.  A day home sick was when my pulling [...]

Is it rewarding?

Posted in personal struggle, survival techniques, tools for trich, treatments, triggers on February 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I think Sea Monkey had a great idea in his last comment: a dinner reward!  So how many of you pullers out there have tried the reward system?  It was one of the first behavioral interventions that was tried when I first went into counseling.  I think I got 20 points per day, and if I pulled, [...]
