Sometimes I honestly do think that it could be so easy to stop pulling out my hair. Why? Because I just don't have any urge to do it. Sometimes days could go by and I barely even think about it - until I stop to notice that I haven't pulled at all lately.

There may be a lot of things I don't like about my hair, but when I think about it there are also things I do like. I'm sure there's at least something you like about yours, too.

I Wish I Could Shave My Head

Have you ever had this feeling? I get it from time to time. It's not because my trich is so bad that I have bald patches I want to cover up - I only have thin patches that I don't think others would notice.
