what are some ways to stop the urge
Submitted by amberhedger on Thu, 10/29/2009 - 00:12
i need any ways that will help stop the urge to pull
lately my trich has been alot worse, i have no idea why, but its just worse
i feel like im about to give up on hope, its just getting that bad.
any ideas??
oh, and thank you wanda for your tips in my last post, im trying to find a way to tell my boyfriend so he can help me.
I read somewhere recently
I read somewhere recently that the reason we pull is because the feeling of the root coming out releases a tension, or something like that. i also read that tapping the side of your wrist or the side of your forehead with two fingers can stand in place and relieve the same type of tension. That is what i am trying now; any time i have the urge to pull i lightly tap these places and i can stop thinking about the pulling for some time. any time i reach for my eyes i immediately redirect my fingers to my wrist. so far (only about a week) it has worked for me.
good luck. if you find any other ideas i wouldnt mind hearing them!!! always looking for more...
