That's ok, I haven't been online much myself! Revision is killing me -.-
Honestly, not very well. My eyebrows aren't too bad, I seem to hold off from attacking them too much but my eyelashes look terrible. Mostly I just keep my hair down and hide behind it, and keep my fringe over my eyes. People have told me I don't make eye contact when I talk to them either.
Yea it's been a few weeks now, I may go back and ask for an update if I don't hear anything soon.
Making bracelets is a great idea! And then when you've made them you can wear them and play with them like I do my rings
I started cross stitching too, that's good for keeping your hands busy.
I've tried wearing gloves, but they make it a bit awkward to hold a pen or type
It really is frustrating.
I agree! Talking helps so much. I've told a few of my close friends, and after each person I told I felt a bit stronger, like I was making positive steps to beating Trich. My friends are really supportive too and tell me off for pulling and let me rant to them when I get anxious.
I think you should tell your mate, if you think they're a true friend and will understand. They may be able to help you like my mine have, and you will feel so much better for having told someone, it feels like such an achievement! And the secret thing as well, Trich doesn't have to be something you hide. It's just part of who we are, albeit a pretty bad part, but there's no shame in admitting it to someone you trust. Let me know how it goes, I hope thins work out for you!
