I just logged in to find so many comments to approve, and noticed that I hadn’t posted for a month. It makes me sad that I can’t post as often as I did – the truth is that I’m always so busy with work these days. But in the meantime, I have received so many wonderful [...]

When You Don’t Care About Pulling

mspennylane — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:12:24 +0000

I know that trichsters will understand what I’m talking about when I say that sometimes you just don’t care about pulling. This means that I know I’m pulling, I even know that it can have unwanted effects on appearance or concentration, yet I don’t care so just carry on doing it. This is how I’ve been [...]

An Apology and An Update

mspennylane — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 17:52:17 +0000

I just wanted to let everyone know I haven’t forgotten you, or this website. I have been very bad at keeping up with things, and in the meantime a number of comments have built up here. I’m just replying to them one by one now. I also wanted to briefly post about my pulling. In all [...]

OnTrich is Over One Year Old!

mspennylane — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 09:17:10 +0000

I didn’t even notice it pass by, but OnTrich has had its on year anniversary! I never knew how this would turn out when I first started writing. I had hoped other people would come forward with their stories. At first it was slow, but then I started to realise just how many trichsters are [...]

I’ve only just discovered that this exists and i think that it is amazing that there are finally places people can come to when they need support from people who actually understand what its like living with trich. When i first started pulling, i was far too ashamed to admit to it, i was around [...]

Started Pulling Again

mspennylane — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 19:18:35 +0000

I thought it was time for an update on my pull-free challenge – well, it’s officially ended. I don’t even know how long I went pull-free now! I guess I stopped counting the days, and that lack of concentration on it let me start pulling again. That said, I haven’t been pulling too badly. Today was [...]

The Connection With Others Who Pull Hair Out

mspennylane — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 09:30:38 +0000

I don’t know about you, but whenever I talk to someone else who pulls hair out, I feel as if I instantly have this connection with them. I’m not trying to be cheesy or emotional, but this is something that I genuinely feel. Most recently, I have been connecting with more and more trichsters all the [...]

Pull Free Anxiety?

mspennylane — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:58:09 +0000

So I have now been pull-free since a week Monday – which means… this is the tenth day! This is possibly the easiest I have found it to go pull free. Except I did think today that I’ve been feeling restless and anxious probably the whole time. I only just started to question whether it [...]

One Week Pull Free

mspennylane — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 20:11:06 +0000

I’ve now been one week pull free – time for celebration! I pulled one single hair in the whole time, so for me I am still proud of going pull free. Congratulations to anyone else who succeeded for one week, and well done to anyone who managed to go pull free for any length of time. For [...]
