i haven't updated in nearly a month :colondollar:

but i have been documenting stuff:

week 1:
between 2 and 10
8/10

week 2 :frown:

half term)
between 0 (!) and 15
6/10

week 3:
between 3 and 34
6/10

week 4: (this week)
between 1 and 40+ (lost count :redface:

)
overall mood 3/10-7/10

so there's not an incredibly noticeable correlation between mood and my trich, but then again, i've not had a great day in a while so i don't really have anything to compare it to. :dontknow:

Sounds rough - a month is a long time :frown:

I hope you've got some good supportive people checking in on you every now and again :hugs:

it was scary to start with, but i'm just used to it by now, can't remember what being happy really feels like though :s-smilie:

just substandard until i randomly feel better again :dontknow:

not really, but i make it through :redface:

12/11/18
Hair count:
0 (!) but had an awful day :frown:

several attempts at some eyelashes but none came out :sad:

13/11/18
Hair count:
11 :dontknow:

still feeling pretty bad

14/11/18
Hair count:
3
bit better :smile:

15/11/18
Hair count:
1 so far (at the time of typing)

but i think because i'm trying to reduce the amount of hairs i pull out, i then have no outlet for stress and bad feelings, so that could be a contributing factor to why my mh is crashing down to the floor :unsure:

and mock week next week which is going to be a blast (not)

Two trich free days in a row! :eek:

probably first time in a few years :yikes:

Hopefully this will be a trich free mock week :yep:

really hope I can get this goal, but tbh and amount of consecutive days (whether it is 2 days or 7 in a row) will be a massive achievement :smile:
