So as you might recall, I’ve been posting that I’ve been doing better with my pulling lately. Upon looking at my hair last night though, I”m starting to wonder if I was just delusional.
Perhaps those struggles while driving really are worse than I thought (due to the fact that at home is so much better?). I’m not sure what’s going on with my actually pulling frequency/duration/severity.
I do know that I’m still feeling way better than I would’ve expected going into the week prior to my presentation and 5 days prior to flying.
And really, if I’m feeling successful, that’s all that matters regardless of how much scalp I can see right?
Right.
As long as you feel good about yourself – not easy with trich, let’s face it – then you’re making progress in my opinion.
This week I really think that’s ringing true. I’ve just stopped caring about the damage I’ve done. I mean, sure, I’d like a full head of hair, but I’ve realized that the world won’t end if I keep pulling my whole life. The friends who are really friends stick by me no matter what I look like. The new people I tell rarely react with anything more severe than “really, I never knew that existed.” So all this fear I’ve built up over the years is pretty unfounded (at least for me) so as long as I’m feeling better about myself, and confident, my rate of pulling really doesn’t matter.
