Good morning! I had an interesting evening last night – I was on two consecutive phone calls, one right after the other, and I was beginning to feel a bit antsy, wanting to get off of the phone. The interesting thing was I was very aware of this, and “sho nuff” suddenly had a feeling that I wanted to stroke/pull some hairs. I didn’t, instead I took two deep breaths, and told my friend I needed to get off the phone. Ah goodness – those impulses can be so insidious! As I have stated before, they only come up now when there is something a bit off-kilter – too tired, bored, whatever, (last night I was feeling a bit conflicted, because my friend was having a hard time, but I needed to get off the phone) and I have learned to head them off at the pass. I can go months with no flickerings of behavior and then something happens like last night, a reminder, that oh yeah, I have trich. But I am ready, and willing, and pull free this morning. Hmmmm. love Christina
